Outrageously Tasty Seafood Can Be Found Far From The Coast At Iowa’s Splash Seafood Bar & Grill
Iowa may be a landlocked state, but that doesn’t mean we aren’t seafood eaters! In fact, if you know where to go, you can find jet-fresh seafood anytime. Head out to find the best seafood in Des Moines to see what we mean.
Splash Seafood Bar is easy to find — just look for the most beautiful building on Locust Street! It's fitting that this seafood restaurant is located in this fancy and historic spot.
You may find it hard to believe that fresh seafood can be found this far from the coast, but Splash Seafood Bar flies in fresh fish, shellfish, and seafood every day.
Their signature starter is sesame tuna. It's a little spicy — because it's served with wasabi! You'll also have pickled ginger and seaweed, and you'll want to pile it all onto a wonton. Yum!
The best part about visiting Splash is that you'll find the menu updates seasonally. In early May, you might get lucky enough to show up when they're serving softshell crabs! Other dishes come and go as they're available.
When you're craving seafood in Des Moines, there's only one place to go. Visit Splash to try jet-fresh fish that turns our landlocked state into a spot that rivals any coastal crab shack.
