The Essential Shore: Takeout

Depot Market Caf
Granny curtains, fresh little sammies, and dinners to go — Southern-fried catfish one night, chicken burritos the next. 409 Elmira Street, Cape May; 609-884-8030.
Sam’s Pizza
What Mack & Manco is to Ocean City, Sam’s is to Wildwood. We like it straightforward: a large pepperoni, carried across the boards to eat on a beach blanket as the sun sets. 2600 Boardwalk, Wildwood; 609-522-6017.
Avalon Mouse Trap
Go here for everything for cocktail hour (except the cocktails): salty Italian snacks like sun-dried-tomato-and-mozzarella cheese spread and olive-oil crackers. 2301 Dune Drive, Avalon; 609-967-3551.
Brady’s Hoagie Dock
Curly fries. “Broasted” chicken subs. Nirvana. 6740 Ocean Drive, Avalon; 609-368-8213.
McGowan’s Market
It’s 95 degrees outside, with 88 percent humidity. The land breeze is making everything sticky. You, obviously, are in the mood for a turkey hoagie with stuffing and cranberry sauce. 3900 Landis Avenue, Sea Isle City; 609-263-5500.
Voltaco’s
Is it us, or does Mr. Tacarino get more handsome each summer? Endure endless busy signals for this shop’s provolone-blanketed meatball subs, hefty stuffed peppers, airy eggplant parmesan and family-style lasagnas. 957 West Avenue, Ocean City, 609-399-0743; voltacos.com.
Casel’s + Bobby Chez
Does anyone cook in Margate? It’s enough work just to park along Ventnor Avenue, shop for whole roasted chicken and root beer in the narrow aisles of Casel’s, and get in line at Bobby Chez’s for jumbo lump crabcakes, shrimp puffs and tomato salad. Casel’s Marketplace, 8008 Ventnor Avenue, Margate, 609-823-2741; casels.com. Bobby Chez, 8007 Ventnor Avenue, Margate, 609-487-1922; bobbychez-crabcakes.com.
White House Sub Shop
It’s always busy. Scratch that; it’s always packed at this iconic, orange-boothed, photo-swathed pit stop for Italian hoagies, meatball subs and cheesesteaks. 2301 Arctic Avenue, Atlantic City; 609-345-8599.
Pearl Street Market
All we need: sublime made-to-order lobster sandwiches, hundreds of fancy-schmanzy bevies, and a case full of extra-fresh-tasting — like edamame — salads. 229 Pearl Street, Beach Haven; 609-492-3910.
