Top 5 Wacky Wildwood Snacks

SEA FOOD

1 Custom Cupcake Bar
Lucy Lou's Bake Shop, 5802 New Jersey Ave., Wildwood Crest, N.J., 609-522-0161, www.lucylousbakeshop.com
This pink-painted Doo Wop dessert stop offers a custom cupcake bar featuring 18 varieties of cakes, available in jumbo or child-sized, and dressed in your pick of four creamy icings and more than 16 toppings. Will it be vanilla caramel capped with cream cheese and walnuts, or chocolate marshmallow with whipped cream and coconut?

2 Cheese Fry Pizza
Sorrento Pizzeria, various locations along the Boardwalk, Wildwood, N.J., 609-522-6677
The latest finger food invention has health nuts in a tizzy: pizza slices piled high with greasy fries and golden Whiz. The messy mix looks unappetizing, but the combo is a hit with youngsters. Because, really, who has time for a sitdown meal with tickets to burn on Morey's Amusement Pier?

3 Mashed Potato Burger
Alumni Grill, 3421 Pacific Ave., Wildwood, N.J., 609-523-1111
Deep in the ruins of downtown Wildwood, a ghost district killed by condo construction is striking back by reinventing the classics at Alumni Grill. It's here that true carb-lovin' trendsters can get a Mashed Potato Burger. The patty comes loaded with roasted garlic mashed potatoes and beef gravy. Prefer dogs? They'll serve you a hot one, wrapped in bacon and cheese, dipped in batter, then frizzled to artery-clogging perfection.

4 Milkshakes Gone Wild
Adams Restaurant, 1700 Boardwalk,North Wildwood, N.J., 609-523-1002
The milkshake, known in its heyday as the choice beverage to complement diner food, has gotten a flavor boost. Adams custom-blends its shakes with your choice of nine different syrups, but also offers watermelon, butterscotch and bubblegum. The best-selling sipper? The chocolate swirl.

5 Lobster Love
Schellengers, 3516 Atlantic Ave., Wildwood, N.J., 609-522-0433
It's easy to fall for fresh seafood when you visit the shore, but true foodies will be up for a little experimentation. Order the Lobster Love and discover what petite lobster tail and coconut shrimp taste like in blueberry sauce.
