About This Spot

Stepping into Archar Seafood feels like entering a well-kept secret of East Franklin, where the busy hum of an everyday market blends effortlessly with the warm welcome of a familiar neighborhood spot. The rhythm here is unhurried yet purposeful — a place where fresh catches are handled with genuine care, and every visitor is met with a sense of personal attention that goes beyond the transaction.

This seafood market carries a quiet confidence, the kind that comes from years of dedication to freshness and quality. The air hints at salt and ocean breeze, transporting you from 725 Hamilton Street to a coastal experience even before you lay eyes on the vibrant array of seafood. There’s a comfortable intimacy here, where you can take your time to ask questions, seek advice, and find exactly the catch that suits your plans — whether it’s crafting sushi at home or simply preparing a family dinner that celebrates the sea.

Behind the counter, a familiar presence adds to the atmosphere, someone who remembers regulars by name and welcomes newcomers with the same warmth — a rare blend of professionalism and neighborly kindness. This connection helps transform choosing fish into a shared moment of discovery rather than a routine purchase. The care given to every order speaks volumes; it’s clear that this is about more than just seafood, but about the stories, traditions, and memories that come with each fresh crab, shrimp, or cut of fish.

In a world that often moves too fast, Archar Seafood offers a chance to pause, engage, and reconnect with the simple pleasure of selecting ingredients that feel alive with freshness and promise. Whether you’re new to town or a longtime local, this spot quietly invites you to be part of a community that values quality not as a catchphrase, but as a daily practice.

My boyfriend and I are new to town and looking for some sushi grade fish and found this place. When we arrived at Archars Seafood, we were met Michael and he gave us great tips and helped us get the perfect cuts of salmon, tuna, and yellowtail! And the nigiri we made was so delicious — especially since these fishes were all FRESH never frozen. Not pictured in this review, but still worth the mention, was the fresh mussels we acquired for a fra divolio pasta we plan on making soon. Archars and Michael have gained new loyal customers in us!

Best crabs around! Archar Seafood never disappoints. The crabs are always fresh and delicious, and the service is excellent every single time. Mike is especially kind and friendly — he really makes you feel welcome. I’ve told so many people about Archar Seafood, and everyone I’ve sent there has had nothing but great things to say. Highly recommend!

Wow! Talk about service with a smile! From the moment he answered the phone Michael has been a pleasure to do do business with! So friendly personable and knowledgeable. I bought some of the freshest most delicious blue crabs and shrimp that I have ever had! Such a fun experience! Thank you Michael!

Years ago, when I first moved from NY to Central NJ, I was concerned I would not be able to find a quality fresh fish market, especially for our traditional Italian Christmas Eve feast. Then I found Archar Seafood and met manager Michael. Suffice to say, it’s been over a decade of consistent quality raw seafood and great customer service. Every order is perfect each time - ultra fresh, cleaned exactly as needed (especially the raw shrimp), and always ready to pick up when Michael promises. Bottom line, this operation in Central NJ is the best I’ve ever experienced, even beating many of my old top spots on Long Island located near the water. Can’t thank Michael and his crew enough. Total pros.

Archar Seafood is truly on another level. Michael always goes above and beyond with his professionalism and treats everyone like family. One time I showed up even though they were closing in 10 minutes, and since I had called ahead, he still told me to come by—no stress, no rush, just genuine customer care. The pricing is fair, especially for the quality you’re getting. The seafood here is exceptional every single time. I usually get the wild salmon, and I promise you, the quality is always consistently excellent. That kind of reliability is hard to find. Michael himself is a real people person. He even walked outside and kept the conversation going—just a genuinely nice guy. I’ve been here a few times now and will definitely keep coming back. Fish markets around the area don’t compare to Archar when it comes to quality, professionalism, and trustworthiness. Highly recommend.

Stopped in for the first time after seeing all the great reviews and I can honestly say they were 100% spot on. I came in looking for flounder and cod and was immediately treated like family. The staff went above and beyond with customer service answering questions, giving suggestions, and making sure I left with exactly what I needed. And the best part? The fish looks incredible and smells unbelievably fresh. You can tell they take pride in what they sell. This is the kind of place you want to support. I’ll definitely be back.

I've been coming to Archar for some 40 years! Only Michael can guarantee a fresh carp for Xmas. The freshnes of fish and seefood is unbeatable. Michael has expert knowledge of the fish and seafood market. He knows his customers by name and will call them if needed. This is not the experience that you get when you buy seafood from a supermarket. I am always looking forward to visit the Archar Seafood. Thank you Michael:)
