We had a party of 8 with reservations for 6:15 pm. Our waitress was Sam. She was terrific.
We had raw oysters and she crab fries, as well as boiled shrimp. They were very good.
For dinner I had a side salad (unremarkable) and the broiled scallops and flounder. My scallops were cooked to perfection, but the flounder was over cooked. My baked potato was good.
Others had the lobster pieces (good), fried oysters (very good) and fried soft shell crab (very good). We also had crab cakes which were good.
The restaurant is BYOB, so no alcohol was included in the bill.

So good! Both the Maine and Connecticut lobster rolls were so good as well as the steamer app. Visited from out of town and will definitely be back on my next trip!

So upon entering you are greeted by a pleasant hostess and behind her is a comprehensive array of take out options. To the right is the understated dining room with sad looking tables, dented and chipped, poorly laid vinyl plank flooring and dirty ac register in the ceiling. Aside from this the kids meal pasta is the same price as dinner but a tiny portion, it’s honestly completely off base. On a positive note the lobster roll, although on a mini sized half cut roll, not a split top, was flavorful and loaded with lobster. The fried scallops were perfectly flashed fried and served with fresh white corn[sadly not cleaned of the many strings so a challenge], but still flavorful. Both big positive is the use of Kelchners tartar sauce and cocktail sauce. A perfect accompaniment. Some of the scallops were split sure to poor shucking but seems impossible to find great scallops, but these were still 8.5/10!! The decor and loud dining room are big drawbacks and some attention to it would help along with some sound deadoning panels. You’d be better off, ordering takeout and having it at home because the overall food is pretty good.

Went here for a family meal. Had the lobster bisque and the scallops. The lobster bisque was good. Nothing special. No lobster chunks or anything like that. The scallops were way overdone. They were like little rubber balls. They did not seem to be fresh. – likely frozen. They were perfectly uniform. Really not edible. The baked potato had no flavor. Cole slaw was average. I should have complained but didn’t as other members of the family love this restaurant. It is the second time I’ve been there and my experience was the same the last time. I will not be back. A couple others that went felt the same about their meals. The best part of the whole meal was Sam the waitress. She was outstanding.

Oceanside Seafood is perfect for good takeout seafood dinners. We had the Shrimp in a Basket and Shrimp Scampi. The shrimp in a basket came with a baked potato and coleslaw. Very good. Shrimp were fried perfectly and not greasy at all. The shrimp scampi was good, but it needed more sauce. The shrimp were fresh and cooked well. The service was quick and friendly. Overall a very good experience.

We got 5 dozen blue claw crabs. All were super heavy and reasonably priced for Avalon. Michele and her staff are always eager to please, providing me with extra coleslaw upon request. Put this one on your list, you won’t be sorry!
2025 update: got 7 dozen crabs last night. Some of the comments from my adult kids, nephews and nieces: “elite”, “fire”, “epic” and “gas”. Just an amazing experience. Love this place!

Honestly loved the lobster roll here and I’ve *hundreds* — a little smaller than average but it had lots of lobster on it and for $28 a fair price. My girlfriend had the chicken sandwich which was also great. I would recommend!

I didn’t get any pics i am so sad about that! First i would like to start off that JoJo was an amazing server. The clams were delicious. We ordered calamari which was extra crispy! My husband had the fried flounder, my daughter had the lobster roll and my son had the lobster grilled cheese. The lobster was delightful but the grilled cheese was outstanding. I had the homemade crabcake! Wow! So Good !!

I got the new England clam chowder which was amazing so good my mom got a cup too. Sadly that’s where the positive aspects end. My salmon special was overdone and tasted burnt on top. The crab salad was clearly canned crab and they put the balsamic on the crab to make it taste even worse. The service was excellent our waitress was very attentive and the take out looked amazing. But the bad entrees are really what disappointed me on my first visit.
