Here in Virginia, we know all about delicious seafood. Our proximity to the Atlantic and the Chesapeake Bay area accounts for the freshest of ingredients. Let’s just say seafood here is not to be taken lightly (but no complaints if it’s lightly battered and fried on occasion…). This list is simply a start to an endless selection of delectable spots you need to try in the state. From fine dining rooms to dive bars, it’s really all about the fresh catch of the day.
Laporta's is a contemporary dining room with a comfortable atmosphere. Although there are other items on the menu, the seafood here is outstanding. And you can't argue with that presentation. 1600 Duke Street
Alexandria, VA.
You might have guessed it: the atmosphere here is laid back and pretty groovy. The $7 lunch special is always tasty. And the dinner menu is excellent too. Pictured above is their seared salmon over a sun dried tomato pasta salad. 8101 Shore Drive, Norfolk, VA.
