Phoenix Seafood Restaurants
Even though Phoenix is landlocked several hundred miles in any direction, local restaurateurs still manage to bring fresh and salt-water delicacies to the fine people of Phoenix for fairly reasonable prices. While seafood restaurants in Phoenix may require an understandable premium for their Alaskan crab tail, there are still quite a few options open to the residents of Phoenix for fine seafood dining without spending their wallet. Delicious shrimp scampi, lobster and grilled tilapia are only a recommendation away. This article will detail the very best Phoenix Seafood restaurants in the entire city.
Ocean Prime, located on East High Street, is a local favorite that’s unfortunately only open for dinner. The restaurant does take reservations and for the weekend you may certainly need one for the reasons I’m about to mention. The best thing on the menu, in a lot of people’s opinion, is the calamari in which they soak in buttermilk over night. The ‘She Crab Bisque’ is a perfect starter for any of their entrees. The most popular entrees tend to be the lobster trail with truffle butter and the blackened swordfish. While a tad bit on the pricey side, rest assured that the value delivers its weight in gold due to the delicious food, great dining environment & world-class wines to boot. You will not leave Ocean Prime unhappy and it certainly deserves the title of Phoenix’s best seafood restaurant
The other Phoenix seafood restaurant that must be mentioned is called Pappadeaux Seafood Restaurant. While also a chain, with restaurants in Ohio all the way down to the Valley, this Creole-inspired seafood restaurant has the best shrimp or crawfish etoufee you will ever have in your life. Their seafood platter gives you the best of all Worlds and is great for sharing among a group of friends. For dessert, go with the sweet potato pecan pie every single time. With every Pappadeaux restaurant equipped with a full bar and bar menu for the full restaurant experience, don’t ever hesitate to call ahead for a to-go order, either.
Every city has at least a couple great seafood restaurants, usually they’re considered fine dining with high prices to match. Ocean Prime and Pappadeuax Seafood Restaurant manage to deliver consistently delicious seafood, coupled with great service, for very reasonable prices. The city is lucky to have these two fine Phoenix seafood restaurants.
