We are deep into a Jersey Shore winter, and many of us are yearning for a piece of summertime. Some of us bundle up and walk on the boardwalk. Others head for a great, fresh seafood meal.

The Jersey Shore is one of the great seafood places on the planet. You'd never know that from national publications, which not only forget the Jersey Shore, but they usually skip the whole Garden State.

As a matter of fact, Country Living just named Crab Palace in Newark as the best seafood in the state. But what about the legendary seafood places here at the Shore, right?

And that's not a terrible thing. the secret is safe with us, and frankly, our great restaurants are pretty crowded without national attention, so let's keep it that way. But we do want to take a minute to celebrate 7 great seafood restaurants that deserve national love, even if they don't get it.
