Seafood restaurant

A seafood restaurant is a restaurant that

specializes in seafood cuisine and
seafood dishes, such as fish and
shellfish. Dishes may include freshwater
fish. The concept may focus upon the
preparation and service of fresh
seafood,[1] (as opposed to frozen
products). Some seafood restaurants
also provide retail sales of seafood that
consumers take home to prepare.[1]
Seafood restaurants may have a marine-
themed decor, with decorations such as
fish nets, nautical images and
buoys.[1][2] Fare can vary due to
seasonality in fish availability and in the
fishing industry.[2][3] Seafood
restaurants may offer additional non-
seafood items, such as chicken and beef
dishes.[2]

Types
Upscale and midscale seafood
restaurants may offer more selections
compared to quick-service restaurants.[2]
Some are located nearby or on a
waterfront.[2]

Fare
Fare in seafood restaurants may include
fresh and frozen fish, shellfish,
crawfish, shrimp, crab, lobster, mussels
and oysters.[4] Some have a raw bar
area where raw shellfish products are
prepared, such as raw oysters.[4][5]
