North Carolina Eatery Named The 'Best Seafood Restaurant' In The State

Thousands of miles of shoreline across America allows many states, even those not bordering an ocean, to have ample access to fresh seafood at the drop of a hat and that would please any seafood lover, pescatarian or really any foodie who wants to feel like their meal was the catch of the day.

According to a list compiled by 24/7 Tempo, the best seafood restaurant in North Carolina is Captain Tom's Seafood Grill & Bar. You don't have to be right along the coast to find incredible fresh and tasty seafood, and this Kernersville eatery proves that. Captain Tom's Seafood Grill & Bar is located at 1265 Highway 66 South.

Here's what the site had to say about North Carolina's "best seafood restaurant":

"Serving down-home cuisine including fried platters with hush puppies and cole slaw, Captain Tom's is a classic seafood joint with a casual, neighborhood vibe. The flounder filets and popcorn shrimp are breaded to perfection, the portions are large, and the she-crab soup is the best around."

To determine its list, 24/7 Tempo looked at lists, ratings and reviews from sites like Guide Michelin as well as local and regional sites. The list includes eateries that run the gamut from ultra-casual seafood shacks to establishments that require a dress code to dine in.
