The Lobster House
Fisherman's Wharf in Cape May, New Jersey, is home to the Lobster House, where all seafood served in the restaurant is brought in daily from the business's own fishing boats. Most diners have a view of the harbor and can watch the fishing and pleasure boats while they enjoy the catch of the day or a meal from the raw bar. There are fishing excursions from the marina, while other outdoor enthusiasts can take a walk or a run on the beaches of Cape May a short distance away.
