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, Colorado 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 Colorado is Jax Fish House & Oyster Bar. This "hotspot" is dedicated to crafting delicious meals with "sustainably sourced" ingredients, and the results speak for themselves. Jax has several locations around the state. Find your nearest one by visiting the restaurant's website.
Here is what LoveFood had to say about this popular seafood spot:
"Despite its landlocked location, this small Colorado-based chain has a strong reputation for its sustainably source seafood. It's been a local hotspot since launching in 1994 and now boasts five outlets across the state. Stick to classics like shrimp cocktail and chargrilled oysters or try something different with the crab and cheese wonton dip. The blue crab cacio e pepe is exceptional, too."
