You’ll Love The Delicious Seafood At This Yummy Connecticut Restaurant

We have no shortage of amazing seafood restaurants in Connecticut. Our miles of shoreline and relatively small size mean that even our furthest inland cities are not far from the coast. If you're looking for places with great fresh fish, oysters, and lobster rolls, there are plenty of places where you can pick some up. One of our favorites is The Whelk in Westport on the banks of the Saugatuck River. This tasty spot serves up delicious and fresh seafood that is some of the best in the state.

The Whelk is located right along the Saugatuck River.

Here, you'll find fresh, sustainably-caught seafood and ingredients that are locally-sourced whenever possible.

The ambiance here is fairly casual. It's great to enjoy quality food in an atmosphere that's not too stuffy!

If you don't want to sit at the bar, there are tables available, plus outdoor seating is available, weather permitting.

The creative menu has some great dishes - the deviled eggs with pickled onions and oysters are one of the more popular appetizers.

If you love oysters, don't miss happy hour, when you can get them at a great low price.

The fries and oysters are both perfect for sharing with a group of friends.

This is a great option for a romantic date night or celebration of a special event. It's upscale enough to feel fancy without being too elegant.

Reservations are highly recommended, because this place can get quite popular, particularly on weekends.
