America has thousands of miles of coastline with ample opportunity for fresh seafood at the drop of a hat. Even for some states not bordering an ocean, there are plenty of lakes both big and small that provide great access to fresh options for any seafood lover, pescatarian and foodie alike.
Finance Buzz searched the country to find the "most beloved seafood restaurants" around the country, compiling a list of the best spot in every state with a focus on local establishments over big chains.
So which eatery was named the best seafood restaurant in all of Missouri?
Broadway Oyster Bar
Housed in St. Louis, this top-notch restaurant has a menu full of delicious seafood options like fried shrimp, alligator tacos, catfish fritters, crawfish and, of course, oysters, among many more offerings. Broadway Oyster Bar, which has a 4.6 star rating on Google with more than 8,000 reviews, is located at 736 S. Broadway Street.
Here's what the site had to say about this "popular" seafood spot:
"Broadway Oyster Bar is a friendly, local favorite offering a Cajun-infused menu. Stop in for the music, enjoy a drink on the patio, and then sink your teeth into oysters served your way. Don't sleep on the Nola-style BBQ shrimp or the shrimp voodoo tacos, which are readily recommended."
