Buffalo is miles away from the ocean, but that doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy coastal cuisine at its finest. From sushi and shrimp to oysters and crab, there are several spots to choose from for seafood in and around Buffalo. Here are nine restaurants to frequent if you’re craving a fresh catch from the sea:
1. Bailey Seafood (3316 Bailey Avenue)
According to their website, Bailey Seafood has the best fish fry in Buffalo. We'll let you be the judge of that! The restaurant has a wide variety of fresh and frozen seafood available for purchase, a take-out menu, and a long history of over 30 years in business.
2. Haye's Seafood House (8900 Main Street, Williamsville)
Come for the in-house seafood market and stay for dinner at Haye's Seafood House in Williamsville. Their menu is extensive, with everything from haddock and shrimp to calamari and steaks for the non-seafood eaters of the world.
3. Hutch's (1375 Delaware Avenue)
