Bites Nearby: Up the Creek Marina

You could stand on a corner and look around until a restaurant sign draws you in. But we've got a better idea. Each week, Galloway Patch picks a great restaurant either in town or nearby that is worth checking out. Here's this week's choice:

: Get everything you need to eat your fish now or later.

Up the Creek Marina, located at 139 East Faunce Landing Road in Absecon, is both a fully functional marina and a restaurant. The marina sells live bait and other fishing supplies, and provides a launching pad for boaters seeking a long, relaxing day of fishing. It also serves as a repair shop.

The restaurant, under new ownership since 2009, serves breakfast and lunch, and daily seafood specials are the norm. The rustic dining room has a waterfront view, and Up the Creek Marina hosts private events.

Visa, MasterCard and personal checks are all accepted forms of payment. Up the Creek Marina can be reached at 609-272-9252.
