The original.

Over the years, we’ve grown. Our family has grown. We’ve branched out to five restaurants in the Long Beach Island area.But Ship Bottom Shellfish is where it all began, serving the freshest food from our ocean and bay.

LBI area favorites like Mussels in Wine and Garlic and Jumbo Lump Crabcakes, all originated here. Everything we are today is based on what we’ve been doing in this cozy little dining room and fish market for nearly 40 years - serving quality sea food.
