Seafood is a pretty standard cuisine in coastal states but you can find delicious seafood anywhere in the country, regardless of proximity to large bodies of water. With so many seafood restaurants to choose from, it's hard to know where to start. Fortunately, Ohio has plenty of incredible restaurants serving up tasty dishes that will make seafood lover happy.
Using reviews, awards and accolades as well as first-hand experience, LoveFood compiled a list of the "best seafood restaurant" in every state, from shacks serving ultra-fresh dishes to lauded establishments with stellar cuisine.
According to the site, the top choice for all of Ohio is Pier W. This Cleveland-area eatery is dedicated to crafting delicious meals full of "exciting" flavors, and the results speak for themselves. Pier W, which has a 4.7 star rating on Google and more than 3,500 reviews, is located at 12700 Lake Avenue in Lakewood.
Here is what LoveFood had to say about this popular seafood spot:
"Cleveland's Pier W may have opened in 1965, but it's definitely not stuck in the past. The restaurant is modern and forward-thinking, even if it remains in its original building, which was designed to look like the hull of a cruise ship. Artful plates certainly aren't style over substance, displaying succulent seafood and exciting flavors. Try the sesame-seared Hawaiian tuna or rockfish marsala with gnocchi. Sweeping views of Lake Erie only enhance the experience of dining here."
