Sel de Mer is a seafood restaurant at heart, but this affordable East Williamsburg bistro enlivens traditional fish shack fare. Read more

BUTTERNUT KALE SCRAMBLE: butternut squash + kale was strong. cajun spiced potatoes went well with chalupa sauce. would recommend.

SHRIMP & POLENTA: perfectly seasoned shrimp, but too much sauce - made polenta soupy and i personally prefer it more thick. egg added to the dish in aesthetics, but not taste.

Try - The Crab Cake, a modestly sized puck that was light on the seasoning, allowing the startlingly fresh meat to shine, which it did. The Old Bay aioli added a bit of kick to this stellar dish. Read more

Underrated and awesome seafood restaurant off the Graham stop. It's all fish and it's cheap and amazing. I love the lobster and fries or any of the mussel dishes.

Fish 'n' chips come encased in a beer-battered, deeply tanned crust that's salty & thick, & answers each bite w/ a lusty crunch. The fish is buttery & pliant, w/ house-made tartar sauce & malt vinegar

Wonderfully unconventional territory with its fish-cake sliders, which come two to a plate and could rival any of their beefy counterparts for gutbombing capabilities. Read more

Fab happy hour special (half off wine, $1 oysters) and, easily, the best fish&chips in Williamsburg.

TOMATO CREAM SOUP: very thick, more like tomato chowder. big enough bowl to share as a starter.

Definitely a great place for a simple lobster meal. And reasonably priced. + Always $2 oysters!

This place is the cutest. Great for casual weeknight dining, date nights, brunch or happy hour. Basically, a lovely neighborhood spot.

Tuna medallions are tasty and light. Fish and chips are great classic simple dish, fresh & flakey

If you don't know how to crack a lobster, ask for the vintage "how to eat lobster" placemats.

The scallops are to die for. Everything else is just a little better than ok. Really nice service.

I DEVOURED the skate in clam broth with enoki mushrooms & escarole, paired with a simple glass of cold Pinot Grigio. Everything here is on point!

You can't go wrong with the lobster and french fries.

Service is mad slow but wait it out for a delicious meal. Salads, tuna burger, fish and chips, and deviled muscles are amazing.

Cheapest full lobster and tastes amazing
Nora GomezOctober 12, 2010
Definitely get mussels. The fish cake sliders are super tasty also. Great wine selection. However, be prepared for slow service.

Arguably the best happy hour stop you can make walking home from the Graham L.

Eggs and avocado toast: amazing.

The seared tuna burger is a must-have

Order what Outkast would: Shrimp and grits and all that shit. That is, if Outkast had brunch at Sel de Mer.
brenna cammeronOctober 18, 2010
this place blows my mind every time. warm kale salad with pancetta and parmesan is nothing short of almost-healthy perfection.

The Village Voice voted this Best Pescatarian Burger in our Best of New York Poll!

If there are no tables, sit at the bar. Good chats, good recommendations.

Word to the wise: ask them to crack the lobster lest you want to get sprayed in the face.
Mariana WMarch 26, 2011
Skip the oily fried tomatoes and the pink porgie, go straight ti the lobster or the tuna

The service is a bit slow. Sit at the bar if you can, it makes you harder to ignore.

Never had a cleaner mussel.

Could have done without the LCD Soundsystem tracks while eating.
Amy FilmoreNovember 27, 2011
Best advice, don't eat here. For a place called Sel de Mer you'd think they would salt the food..,
TimothyFebruary 13, 2010
Blueberry pancakes are epic. If available, get a side of grits.
