What is the best seafood restaurant in Boston to take someone who is visiting?

Neptune Oyster hands down

Best to try to go on a week day as the line wouldn’t be as long

A bit upscale but stunning interior!

Row 34 or Neptune oysters. If you are looking for something plain, but great food and a nice view, go to Belle Isle in Winthrop.

Antico forno

Great italian food in north end

Depends on what you mean by best. (Fancy, lobster, location, etc). Barking crab is a common favorite with tourists. Woodman’s in Essex is one of the highest rated in the area for fried. Legal Seafood is a middle of the road favorite. For fancy - go to the seaport fan pier.

This place is the best for seafood-based Italian food 😋

Yankee Lobster, Saltie Girl, Shore Leave

Yankee Lobster: Best lobster roll (bun to meat ratio was ideal last time I went), Saltie Girl: Excellent seafood for brunch, Shore Leave: tasty and affordable omakase

This place is incredible 🦪

Eventide for clean, approachable food. Row 34 and Little Whale for higher end options. Never been to Saltie Girl, but heard it’s good. Select Oyster is ok but crowded
