Seafood is a pretty standard dish in coastal states, and with so many seafood restaurants to choose from, it's hard to know where to start. One food website recently released a list of the best spot for seafood in each state, from hidden gems to fine dining experiences.

Using Yelp reviews and star ratings, Eat This, Not That! compiled a list of the best seafood restaurant in each state.

"Pan-seared, boiled, grilled, or fried, seafood can come in countless forms. While the perfect deep-sea dish can be hard to find, we've rounded up a list of seafood hotspots that consistently blow customers out of the water."

So which restaurant took the top spot for North Carolina?

Fish Bites Seafood Restaurant

This eatery serves up fresh seafood in Wilmington and even has the town's only live lobster tank, according to its website. One Fish Bites reviewer keeps coming back, saying, "This is my....however many times I've been to Fish Bites Seafood Restaurant and once again, they impressed me with their service and flavors." Check out their website here for more information.

Here's what Eat This, Not That! had to say about North Carolina's best seafood restaurant:

"This hole-in-the-wall eatery is a Wilmington hotspot among locals and visitors alike. Seafood classics like blackened grouper piccata and stuffed flounder have customers coming back for more."
