People love seafood, and they don’t have to live along a coast to catch a good meal.

That’s why Eat This, Not That! sought the best seafood restaurant in every state. The food content hub shared its findings earlier this year, including “hole-in-the-wall locations,” “fine dining fare” and anything in between.

They did it with a little help from customers:

“This is a list of the best seafood restaurants in every state, according to Yelp. All of the restaurants on this list are in the ‘seafood’ category on Yelp. The ‘best’ rating is determined by both the number of reviews and star ratings for each restaurant.”

So, which seafood restaurant is the best one in Ohio?

Kai’s Crab Boil.

Here’s what Eat This, Not That! says about the Columbus-based eatery (also noting that one reviewer warns that you might get “a little messy”):

“Established in 2018, this new to the scene seafood joint is already making waves in downtown Columbus. If you don't mind getting a little messy, this place is for you. Reviewers rave of the well-seasoned dishes and finger-lickin' good eats (literally).”

Kai’s Crab Boil is located at 839 Bethel Rd in Columbus.
