Why it tastes different

We know the boat. We know the farm. We know your fish.

Spring Lake Seafood opened in 2021 to show the Jersey Shore what truly local seafood can be. Chef Bradley Rodriguez and his team buy straight from local captains, follow each fish from the dock to the kitchen, and dry-age it in house for deeper flavor.

Spring Lake Caterers takes that same kitchen on the road. No frozen trays, no middlemen, no catering-hall shortcuts. Just the food our regulars line up for, made for your guests.

“Our love language is food, and we are blessed to share it with the world.”— Spring Lake Seafood

Questions
Where do you cater?

We're based in Spring Lake and cater across Monmouth and Ocean County: homes, backyards, beach clubs, wedding venues and offices. Further out? Ask us.

Can we have a raw bar or sushi station at our wedding?

Absolutely. It's what our kitchen is known for: fish from local boats, dry-aged in house and served live by our chefs.

How far ahead should we book?

Summer Saturdays and holidays book first. Send us your date as early as you can and we'll tell you right away if it's open.

Do you handle dietary restrictions?

Yes. We build menus for everyone at the table, including vegetarian, gluten-free and shellfish-free guests, plus our zero-proof bar.

Do you offer tastings?

Yes, for weddings and larger events once your proposal is ready, so you can taste the menu before you commit.
