Think you need the coast for great seafood? I used to think so too—until I explored Atlanta’s seafood restaurants. From upscale oyster bars to Southern-style fish shacks, Atlanta serves up fresh, flavorful seafood with serious style. Whether you’re in the mood for buttery lobster rolls, Lowcountry boils, or seared scallops with a modern twist, you’ll find it all right here in the city. If you’re craving ocean flavor with big-city flair, Atlanta delivers.
