Gadaleto’s is one of Chester County’s premier sources for the freshest seafood selection around. With a new and larger location in the Westtown Village Shopping Center at routes 926 and 202, owner Andy Gadaleto has taken the opportunity to do some long-awaited in-house cooking.

Seafarer Delights
The Gadaleto’s takeout menu starts with homemade bisque and chowder and a bevy of sauteed, battered and baked appetizers. It also includes a number of savory sandwiches and an impressive selection of classic and innovative seafood entrees and sides. There’s truly something for everyone.
The appetizer selection might best be enjoyed by ordering a few items to share. Rhode Island-style fried calamari with Thai chili sauce alongside battered grouper bites dipped in tartar sauce makes for an exquisite starter selection. Likewise, a batch of fried clam strips and mozzarella crab balls will quiet any growling bellies.
If there was ever a heavenly take on the grilled cheese sandwich, it might be Gadaleto’s lobster grilled cheese, with sweet chunks of lobster meat and mozzarella cheese on grilled sourdough bread with your choice of a side such as onion rings, coleslaw or Old Bay seasoned French fries.
Speaking of heavenly, the other sandwiches available on the menu include shrimp and oyster po’ boys, catfish, fried flounder and Gadaleto’s award-winning crab cake, all served with lettuce and tomato on fresh Philadelphia baked sandwich rolls. A Maine lobster roll, overflowing with celery leaf and lemon zest seasoned lobster chunks, rounds out the sandwich selection out on a divine note.
For entrees, there’s a fantastic mix of scrumptious fried platters, fresh fish tacos and sizeable salads topped with blackened scallops, seared salmon and seared mahi.
The highly popular Ultimate Platter is a mouthwatering blend of fried shrimp, scallops and a crab cake. Fish ‘n chips lovers can rely on Gadaleto’s battered, fried cod and French fries with a side of tartar or cocktail sauce to hit the spot.
Gadaleto’s makes its fish tacos with the fresh fish catch of the day, such as halibut, and serves them as a trio on soft white tortillas with cabbage, salsa and fresh squeezed lime juice.
The entree salads are ideal for enjoying the pure and exceptional quality of Gadaleto’s fish fillets and scallops over a bed of chopped romaine, fresh vegetables and a zesty lime vinaigrette.
Giving up burgers and steaks for Lent? With the new and improved selection of takeout available at Gadaleto’s Seafood, there are plenty of healthy and delicious alternatives at your fingertips.
Fresh, Never Frozen
If there’s one point Andy Gadaleto emphasizes about his products, it’s their unparalleled freshness. Daily trips to seafood markets in Philadelphia allow him to offer the freshest possible freshwater and saltwater fish and shellfish selection in his market. And that’s exactly what he uses to make the takeaway delights.
“The takeout in conjunction with a fresh seafood market is a unique thing in that all the seafood is taken directly out of the case and made from scratch,” Gadaleto explains. “We don’t freeze the cod for fish ‘n chips. The shrimp in the po’ boy, shrimp platter and Ultimate Platter is all fresh, never frozen. The fish taco selection changes daily depending on what we cut that day.”
It is this freshness that makes all the difference. From the deep blue sea to your plate, there’s never a freezer involved, and the resulting tastes and textures are extraordinary.

Gadaleto’s takeout is available Monday through Sunday from 11 a.m.–6:30 p.m. By calling your order in ahead to (610) 430-7777, you can ensure the swiftest service, though you’ll never wait more than a half hour in-store if you pop in last minute.
