Here in Oregon, we take our seafood very seriously. There are so many wonderful places to go to grab fresh-caught fare, and we really do love them all! One of our most treasured catches is Dungeness crab, a delicacy we could happily eat all day, every day. And luckily for us, there is a rustic little restaurant in Oregon that lets us do just that. International C Food Market is an unassuming gem in Florence, Oregon with endless Dungeness crab sure to satisfy appetites both big and small!

Here in Oregon, we're totally spoiled when it comes to seafood. The 363-mile-long Oregon Coast gives us unrivaled access to the freshest, most flavorful seafood in the country.

Salmon, oysters, and rockfish are some of our most beloved specialties. But the king of Oregon seafood is Dungeness crab. This is a delicacy we simply can't get enough of!

The setting isn't as important as the seafood. It's abundant, fresh, and absolutely delectable. The Dungeness crab really is the star of the show here.

Lots of restaurants in Oregon offer fish and chips, and ICM Restaurant does this tried-and-true favorite just right.

Grab a drink, fill up your plate with fresh fare, and bask in the beauty of the Oregon Coast. Not a shabby way to spend an afternoon, in our opinion!
