However, we make an exception in the case of our search for the absolute best meal that is available in the Atlantic City, New Jersey area.

There are so many great choices and we include a bunch of them in this article.

However, if we have to pick just one … it’s the wonderful Seafood Pan Roast dish at Steve and Cookies by The Bay in Margate, New Jersey.

Here‘s what it looks like:

If you like or love seafood, this is the one.

It was originally introduced to me by my Daughter, Kristin Hurley Baker ... without question, it is my favorite seafood meal of all-time

It may be the most perfect seafood meal ever made.

It has everything ... balance ... proportion ... it includes:

A lobster tail, 2 huge shrimp, 2 scallops and a nice portion of jumbo lump crab meat.

Here are other worthy and spectacular meals that are also available in the Atlantic City area.

The Lobster Roll at The Water Dog Smoke House in Ventnor, New Jersey.

It is also my favorite lobster roll if all-time. It's perfect.

Here it is:

That's a whole Maine lobster in the perfect lobster roll sandwich pictured above.

The Water Dog Smoke House owner Steve Marchel provided us with a great lobster roll sandwich tutorial:

"A Connecticut Style Lobster Roll, which is poached in warm butter, as opposed to a Maine Roll which is dressed with seasoned mayo. No Mayo, No Fillers.

Just knuckle, claw AND tail meat. All served in a top-cut toasted roll served with potato salad and our tarragon aioli on the side," said Marchel.

Marchel's other establishment, "Betty's Seafood Shack" offers the Maine style lobster roll. Betty's is now closed for the off season ... The Water Dog is

open year-round.

FUN FACT: The very first lobster roll was created in 1929 by Perry's, located in Milford, Connecticut.

PJ BUCKETS of Ventnor and Ocean City also make our lobster list with their:

New England Family Size Boil.

It looks wonderful ... including:

Lobster Tails, Large Shrimp, Clams and Corn. Here it is below:

As always …

Bon appétit.
