“ Mike is a gem and like gems you want to keep them all to yourself, but I would be doing the world a dis-serve if I kept him all to myself. The fish is always fresh, the store clean and the people greet you with a hello and a smile. I travel a distance to get to this location, but the seafood and the kindness has me driving there with a smile. Thank you Mike for just being a wonderful person. ”

“ Another wonderful Thanksgiving because of the wonderful food! This year we picked up oysters and enjoyed a wonderful delicious pre-Thanksgiving meal of oysters and some wonderful lobster bisque. It was relaxing and nice to not to have to cook the day before knowing that Thanksgiving was going to be a big fancy meal. I also had three. 2,pound lobsters that I cooked exactly the way Mike told me. I chilled them and then made lobster salad. Thanksgiving was so good with lobster salad and all the sides that you would normally have a Thanksgiving. I know that the traditional dinner is the Thanksgiving's turkey but really who wants to have turkey if you could have lobster? thank you so much, Mike. Looking forward to Christmas coming back to get more seafood. There is no better Seafood place than Archar Seafood and Mike is the nicest and the most cordial and helpful person on the planet! ”

“ Michael is the best ! Such a great personality this guy has . It all started with a simple conversation over the phone . He picked saying Dave ( called from my husband's phone ) what can I do for u buddy but then realized it was a female on the phone . It was so funny from there. I arrived and said I'm Dave and we just rolled with it . He's awesome. We picked up 2 dozen medium crabs and they for sure not disappoint. He made fine selection and we even tried some before we left to Make sure we were good with them . I called that A+ customer service . Now we all know crabs aren't in season all year but they have plenty of other options from different fishes , oysters , clams ,mussels and shrimps . So if you are looking for some fresh seafood come see Michael and he will take care of you . Thanks Mike for a great experience I will be back ! ”

“ Drove from Hackensack(Hacketsville) and was not disappointed. Crabs were meaty and fresh. Michael was great. Will def be back! ”

“ This was my first visit to this seafood market and it was well worth it, I called to check to see what size the crabs were and the cost. The gentleman that I spoke with was very helpful and provided the answer to my questions. I arrived shortly after they opened and I was very impressed with the vibe and the fact it didn't smell like a fish market which means that the seafood is fresh. I purchased a couple dozen crabs at a fair price and they were wonderful and heavy just like the fish monger mentioned. I will return and certainly recommend this market to my friends and family. ”

“ By far some of the freshest and most variety in the area - 2nd to none. Great service and knowledgeable staff. High quality sushi grade selection, a plethora of oysters of all kinds and massive crab legs! Also was able to find my first soft shells of the season and did not disappoint. ”

“ I love going to Archar Seafood. The fish is always fresh . They have ben in business over 40 years. The owner is just so amazing. The best personality ever. Always personsable . The service is always on point. I have never had a bad experience. Love you gys Keep up the amazing work. Monique W. ”

“ A real traditional fresh seafood market and whose owner Michael is a real true gentleman and expert. Very friendly and most importantly his seafood choices are fresh and high quality. Unlike a bad experience at a local bakery in Summit on Wednesday before Thanksgiving , Michael offered best in quality and consumer experience. My consumer faith has again been restored by Michael. We purchased the local sea scallops and also added wild shrimp which we made with a fantastic spaghetti white wine EVOO garlic and butter sauce. This fresh seafood market is the real deal and well worth the over 20 minute drive. We plan and returning and I strongly recommend that everyone else do the same. Definitely a Christmas Eve shopping preferred shop! Thank you Michael we appreciate your empathy and kindness! God Bless you! ”

“ Our first time to Archar was last year when we tried their large blue crabs. They were plump, juicy, delicious! We knew we had a winner winner chicken dinner for when we take our yearly road trip up to NJ from Florida. Fast forward to this October when we couldn't wait to go back for more yummy crabs. You walk into Archar and they treat you like family. We ordered lobsters too this year and boy oh boy! Maine's got nothing on these Canadian lobsters, some of the best I've ever had! Thanks Mike, see you next year! -- Sunny Florida ”

“ "Where everyone knows your name!" Isn't that where we all want to be, that place where everyone knows your name? Well since Sammy shut done Cheers, let me tell you that place is now Archar Seafood. I've never though of the seafood market as a place where you'd have a few laughs, get some really great service, get to meet a few new friends, and get a few compliments along the way. I mean, this is a seafood market after all! First let's get the facts out of the way. The seafood is frreeeeesh! I had some oysters shucked for my drive home and dammit, that made me happy. These oysters were so crisp, just the right amount of salinity, nicely shucked and did I mention fresh? I also got a thick cut of fresh tuna that I simply peppered and seared that was OUTSTANDING! Mike the owner also gave me some complimentary fresh shrimp that was just delicious broiled with butter and scallions. Mike, if you are reading this, I snapped a picture for you before I ate them to let you know I did you proud with your generosity! This was my first visit and that being the case I took a few extra minutes to survey the offerings. While doing so, there was no shortage of customers, voicing for their offerings and providing great insights. For me, that definitely speaks volumes about how a business is run if random customers will vouch for and speak up for a merchant like so. BTW, I got the hint, next time, definitely getting some crabs! Now having said that, I saw firsthand why other customers were so quick to vouch for Mike and Frank. I've never shook hands with my seafood guy more in less time. This guy Mike is like my new best friend. I've never had so much fun buying seafood before between the playful banter/jokes/stories with random folks and the complimentary nature of Mike. Everyone that walks in is on a first name basis with Mike it seems! If I lived closer, I'd be here every week but I'll definitely be back again! Mike, if you are reading this, you sir are the classy gentleman. Stay fresh in Somerset! ”
