Top 5 Seafood in Chicago

  1. 1

    Calumet Fisheries

    South Deering

    The James Beard America's Classics-winning oak-smokehouse next to the 95th Street Bridge — since 1928, Chicago's one non-negotiable seafood pilgrimage.

  2. 2

    Shaw's Crab House

    River North

    A 40-year Lettuce Entertain You icon with a white-tablecloth dining room and a separate Oyster Bar — the city's default fine-dining raw bar since 1984.

  3. 3

    Joe's Seafood, Prime Steak & Stone Crab

    River North

    The Chicago outpost of the Miami original, whose stone crab claws and king crab legs have anchored Magnificent Mile power-dining since 2000.

  4. 4

    Hugo's Frog Bar & Fish House

    Gold Coast

    Gibsons's seafood sibling on Rush Street, where the live jazz piano and Australian lobster tails have been a Gold Coast ritual since 1997.

  5. 5

    RPM Seafood

    River North

    Lettuce Entertain You's glossy riverfront flagship — charcoal-grilled black bass, seafood towers, and the Chicago River in the windows.
