Quahog's Seafood Shack and Bar

Quahog's Seafood Shack and Bar has been a beloved Stone Harbor institution since 2008, perfectly positioned just steps away from the pristine beaches of Seven Mile Island in Cape May County, New Jersey. This distinctive seafood restaurant masterfully combines classic New England seafood shack vibes with South American inspired cuisine, creating a unique culinary experience that keeps families returning year after year. Chef Lucas Manteca, whose Argentinian heritage influences the menu alongside Brazilian and Costa Rican flavors, has crafted signature dishes that have gained national recognition, most notably the legendary BBQ Pacu Pacu Fish Ribs, featured on the popular Food Network show Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. The restaurant offers both indoor seating with a full-service bar—converted in May 2019 to enhance the dining experience—and a charming covered back patio perfect for al fresco meals. Beyond the famous fish ribs, guests rave about the refreshing ceviche, crispy fish tacos, and indulgent lobster rolls, all paired with an impressive beverage program curated by Chef Lucas himself, featuring an extensive tequila and mezcal selection with flights available. The bar hosts weekly specials including Margarita Thursday with $9 margaritas all night, Buck a Shuck with $12 for a dozen oysters from 5-6 PM, and wing specials during the same evening window. Whether you're grabbing takeout for an ocean-front picnic or settling in for a casual dinner with craft cocktails, Quahog's delivers honest food with homey hospitality in a quintessential Jersey Shore setting.
