Coastal Living's Best Seafood Dives

Coastal Living scoured the coast—and filled their paper plates—to find the seaside dives with the tastiest dishes, from fried shrimp to fish-and-chips.


We always pop in to seafood dives—those super-casual places where mismatched chairs rule and the dress code is “whatever.” But the allure isn’t just the chill vibe. It’s also the cooks who know how to fry shrimp to golden perfection or assemble a fish sandwich that makes you lean back and close your eyes in bliss.
