Seafood is a delicious dish that diners can enjoy from coast to coast.

Stacker credits strides in transportation and storing technology to make the delicacies available even in states that are nowhere near oceans.

However, some restaurants are better than others, and that’s why fellow foodies take to TripAdvisor to rank the best places to get a seafood meal.

TripAdvisor users can find the highest-ranked restaurants in any given city, and to make it easier for seafood lovers, Stacker published a list of the Top 30 best seafood restaurants in Chicago, according to TripAdvisor ratings.

Stacker reads:

Red Lobster, the casual dining chain, has hundreds of locations in 44 states and brought in $2.5 billion in sales in 2019. But Americans who love seafood seek it out in historic establishments and fine-dining restaurants as well as chains. Cooking styles and techniques vary across regions, many of which have their own specialized and beloved takes on seafood preparation, from boils to bakes to bisques.”
