Matthew's Seafood Market Cape May Court House

Amazing fish and chips!!! Best I've had for the quality and price. Takeout and outdoor seating on quiet street. Found this place while driving and noticed their takeout menu sign off the street. $15 fish and chips. They were just about closed, so I planned to try when open. I wanted fish and chips before I left the shore, but most places use flounder...I prefer haddock or cod. I almost went to a boardwalk fish restaurant but after reading reviews that people claimed the fish was already frozen fish filets, I figured it would be best to get from an actual fish market. Good choice. The fish was breaded, not fried, and perfect. Fries great. Kind of firm though. The coleslaw was homemade but felt it was lacking vinegar and bland. The tartar sauce was also homemade and I actually liked it... I don't find tartar sauce appealing. I mixed some in the coleslaw and it was better. The restaurant is on a back street in the actual town of Cape May Courthouse. They also offer outdoor dining in a pleasant Cafe like setting, so if you want good fish and chips and also a quiet reprieve from the boardwalk/hotel/ocean vacationers everywhere, this is your place- however I was there around 7:20 and they close at 8. If you opt for takeout like I did, the library has a beautiful garden area with picnic tables to sit down. Photo from garden area.
