Just because we aren’t by an ocean doesn’t mean we don’t have some killer seafood restaurants. It’s one of the best kept secrets of our state, I think, that we serve up some awesome seafood. Here are some of Wisconsin’s best restaurants to get a great seafood dinner.
- Harbor House

Harbor House/Facebook This is an upscale joint, but you will happily pay the prices with the awesome view of Lake Michigan and, more importantly, great seafood. People rave about everything from the seafood bisque to the lobster. 550 N Harbor Dr, Milwaukee, WI 53202
- St. Paul Fish Company

St. Paul Fish Company/Facebook If you’re from the east coast, you are going to be opinionated about lobster rolls, but they do a heck of a good job at St. Paul Fish Company. And if that didn’t take courage, they also do a gumbo which would do a Louisiana native proud. A Caribbean-themed bar makes this place super fun. They are located in the Milwaukee Public Market. 400 N Water St, Milwaukee, WI 53202
- Tempest Oyster Bar

- Salty’s

Salty’s/Facebook I liked this place from the moment I saw the exterior–whimsical, definitely puts you in the mood for fish. And they deliver on that promise. Only in Wisconsin can you get cheesy seafood soup–and it’s well-executed. 503 N Park Ave, Fond du Lac, WI 54935
- Joey’s

- Fish Tales Restaurant
Fish Tales Restaurant/Facebook
Fish Tales Restaurant/Facebook It’s campy, but they can back that up with some really good seafood. They do a really good fish fry, but also a nice baked fish if you are watching calories. Um, and did I mention they make a great old fashioned? W12690 WI-188, Lodi, WI 53555
- The Fox and Hounds Restaurant
