When you think of a state with great seafood restaurants, you’re most likely going to call to mind spots along the coast on either the eastern or western sides of the nation. At first, it may even seem a bit strange to think of landlocked Tennessee as one of the best spots to grab lobster rolls and platters of oysters and seared fish. It’s true though, folks. These 5 Tennessee seafood restaurants are well worth a visit (or two!) from you and yours no matter the time of year. Get ready for bright flavors, indulgent plates, and a bit of coastal nostalgia.
Henrietta Red is nestled in the historic and indulgently designed Germantown neighborhood, just outside of downtown Nashville. You can expect a luxurious space that boasts a dining room and a separate cocktail bar offering oyster platters, seafood plates, and Mediterranean-inspired meals. Find more information here.
Ludlow & Prime can be found in Brentwood, Tennessee, and though it's best known for serving American cuisine it has a seafood chapter that's both beautifully plated and deliciously prepared. This fire-roasted catfish looks like everything good, and it's one of the healthiest options on the menu. Find more information here.
Johnson City is tucked away in the hills of eastern Tennessee, and Bayou Boys is one of its mainstay seafood eateries if you're looking for fresh fish and Cajun-inspired eats. Authentic New Orleans cookin' is on the menu here, and visitors highly recommend you go for the fried sampler that comes with a combination of oysters, fish, shrimps, gator (!), and scallops. Find more information here.
Where do you go for the best crab legs in Memphis? The Half Shell, of course! It's a low-key place with high-end taste, but you won't have to shell out the big bucks for something good to eat. We'd highly recommend the lobster and Gulf shrimp skewer if you're looking for a solid meal. Find more information here.
Boathouse Rotisserie & Raw Baris located right on the river in Chattanooga, Tennessee, so not only will you get to enjoy a stunning view but also a decadent menu perfectly designed for a seafood-centric meal. The oysters are fresh and flavorful, and you can even enjoy them on the large outdoor deck. Find more information here.
What a wonderful way to explore all the culinary options the state of Tennessee has to offer. You can experience more of this great state with a visit to one of these famed city parks, perfect for a lunch break or a family hangout.
