Hook & Reel – Union, New Jersey

In times like this, you can definitely eat more then you would like because of how accessible it is but stay grounded. This next place is Hook and Reel, a new place that they opened up recently in Union. The picture above is the 1/2 pound of calamari and 1/2 pound shrimp (head off). The sauce that I selected was the Hook and Reel special blend mild with potatoes and I have to admit that it was good. The sauce has some garlic but with a little bit of old bay on it which is good. I think it contained something else but I can’t put my finger on it. The boil came out pretty quick which I was taken aback by but it turned out to be well. The shrimp was steamed just right but the only downside was that I still had to peel the shrimp but it added to the experience. The calamari wasn’t for me so next time, I’ll have to try the crabs which looked tasty. In addition to the boil, I had the cajun fries which were surprisingly tasty. I’ll definitely be coming back here at some point and hopefully it’s consistent which is always a plus.
