The 7 Best Seafood Restaurants in Chicago

Despite being an inland city, Chicago’s ever-expanding restaurant scene includes a number of esteemed seafood restaurants. Bordered by Lake Michigan, Chicago is home to a variety of freshwater fish and its proximity to both the Atlantic and Pacific allows for fresh seafood to be flown in daily. See our picks of the best seafood restaurants in Chicago.

Joe’s Seafood, Prime Steak & Stone Crab

For the best of surf and turf, head to Joe’s in the River North area of Chicago. A formal atmosphere sets the tone for a fine dining experience. Known for its stone crab, the menu also includes seared sea scallops, salmon au poivre and ahi tuna filet. Those less inclined toward seafood will enjoy steaks such as the 30 oz porterhouse.

The Angry Crab

A bib is suggested when dining at this little seafood restaurant. Cajun seasoning adds a unique element to the fresh seafood on offer, with four levels of spice to choose from depending on how daring you are. Here, there are no reservations, but the dungeness crab and lobster tail makes it worth the wait.
