Eats on the way home from Island Beach State Park
We were looking for a casual place other than the Boardwalk to park and have fish and chips or something along those lines, w/ the kids. Unfortunately we ended up at the Boardwalk and had pizza. On the way home over the bridge I thought I saw a little seafood restaurant/fish store? Anyway, any suggestions? We wanted to go somewhere other than Berkleys, and the restaurants right around there.

my sentiments exactly...was at IBSP yeasterday and saw the place over the bridge, but didn't go to it.(I'll try it next time) . Instead wound up at McCloones in Long Branch, a good hour or so later. There has to be a good place near IBSP, so I'll add my thanks to those who shared the 411!!

Ebbies is far, far better than Wawa.
Surf Taco is quite awful. The food is bland, lowest common denomiator stuff. Boiled salsas? Tilapia? I cannot fathom their following other than to say people who otherwise might go to McDonalds feel as though it's a healthy alternative. (By the way, do they still hypocritically use styrofoam?)
On the way off of IBSP, assuming you went up 35 and not 38, you would have passed:
1. Labrador Lounge on 35 in Normandy Beach. Fresh ingredients, clever preparations, outdoor seating, bathing suit friendly.2. Klee's in Seaside which has pretty good thin crust pizza.
3. Further up the Island in Point, you could have gone to Mi Mexico on 35 South. Good, honest, authentic Mexican. Cheap tacos in many flavors. Order a variety, two at a time.
Also, their is Red's Lobster Pot on the channel. Sit outside. Bring a six pack and eat simple, fried fish, squid, clams, etc. and sample the myriad hot sauces by the counter (the "You Can't Handle This Hot Sauce" just might live up to its name!)
Had you gone down 38 towards GSP Exit 81, you could have tried El Familiar which has very good Columbian/Mexican food (search this board for the discussions), as well as others (again, seach this board for "Toms River") Another funky choice might have been Joe Joe's hot dogs. Not fine dining, but certainly a fun, greasy spoon experience.

The place you saw was Picses Fish Market and Restaurant and I am a huge fan! Their stuff is always fresh, you can get fish and chips or more upscale fare.
