If you're craving fresh seafood, there's no better place to find exactly what you want than an establishment dedicated to serving up the best fishy fare. No matter if you live along the coast, near a large body of water, or in a landlocked state, you can find high quality, delicious seafood at the drop of a hat, from creamy clam chowder and jumbo crab cakes to flavorful cedar planked salmon or Southern-inspired shrimp and grits.
According to a list compiled by Cheapism, the "best seafood restaurant" in all of Colorado is Blue Island Oyster Bar and Seafood. This Denver eatery was praised for its incredible array of tasty seafood as well as its luxurious caviar service. Popular dishes at this beloved restaurant, per Yelp, include the clam chowder, crab cake, fish tacos and lobster roll, to name a few.
Blue Island Oyster Bar and Seafood is located at 2625 E. 2nd Avenue.
Here's what the site had to say about the best seafood spot in the entire state:
"There are a lot of routes to take at Blue Island Oyster, one of Denver's hottest seafood spots: You can keep it simple with oysters and clams, or you can go mid-level by splitting some Thai curry mussels or fired calamari with friends. The best idea, though? Throw the Cheapism handbook out the window and go for pure luxury with the golden Osetra caviar service."
