Cha's Seafood — Restaurant in Trenton

If you’re craving bold flavors, buttery shellfish, and the kind of heat that builds just right, this hot and seafood restaurant is a must-visit. From the moment I walked in, the aroma of seasoned shellfish and garlic butter set the tone for a mouthwatering experience.

The stars of the show? The crab legs and lobster tails — hands down some of the best I’ve had in a while. The crab legs were perfectly steamed, easy to crack, and soaked in a Cajun-spiced garlic butter that made every bite rich and flavorful. The lobster tails were tender, juicy, and slightly smoky, with just enough spice to complement the natural sweetness of the meat.

I went with a combo platter that included both, along with corn, potatoes, and sausage — classic seafood boil style. Everything was cooked just right, and the spice level was customizable, which is a huge plus. I chose medium heat, and it brought a satisfying kick without overwhelming the dish.

Service was quick and friendly, and they weren’t stingy with the extra napkins or wet wipes (a seafood essential). Prices were fair for the quality and portion size, especially considering the generous helping of crab and lobster.

This place has really changed. There’s Only so much filleting you can do to one piece of fish. This fish was so thin and had so much breading covering it my 8 yr old was wondering where’s the fish.

Then the oil was dark and the fish was dark brown and had a burnt taste to it. The shrimp also. I asked for seasoning and was told “ok”. Absolutely no seasoning. The salmon looked like it was fried! However it was just broiled…. Oh No…. Don’t say anything just to make a sale because then you lost a customer. I get that we are all trying to make it in business due to covid but don’t run the place into the ground where you loose all your customers. Bring back...

Hubby wanted scallops for Christmas Eve and this was the place we finally found some. Found it through MAPS. I think they do mostly cooked takeout for I had to stop them from deep frying our order. The scallops were lightly breaded, but that was okay even though I would have preferred them without. Also got some breaded shrimp, but the count was off. They had a beautiful assortment of crab leg clusters of many kind, blue claw crabs, lobster, shellfish and things I am sure I missed. A bit pricy, but I would pay the price on most of what I saw. I probably wouldn't go there if I was by myself, would get lost if it...
