If you’re on the hunt for the best seafood boil in New Jersey, Oceancrat Seafood Boil & Bar in Maple Shade should be at the top of your list. This isn’t your typical seafood restaurant—it’s the kind of place where the tables are lined with paper, the butter is flowing, and the food speaks for itself.

The seafood boil bucket is what Oceancrat is known for. Picture crab legs, a buttery lobster tail, shrimp, clams, veggies, and noodles tossed in a rich garlic butter sauce. It’s messy, flavorful, and worth every napkin. Each bite hits that perfect mix of spice, salt, and seafood

sweetness that keeps you digging back in for more.

You pick the seasoning—Cajun, lemon pepper, Old Bay, or classic garlic butter—and your spice level, from mild to daringly hot. The result? A messy, mouthwatering mix of salt, spice, and buttery sweetness that keeps you reaching for just one more bite.

It’s not a place for clean eaters. It’s a place for people who like their food loud, flavorful, and dripping with sauce.
