Any coastal city is bound to have good seafood....it all depends on what kind of seafood you like

I realise that it would be coastal.

Any fish really, I really love fresh mussels or tuna. I would love to try red snapper or something a bit more unusual??

Nothing beats Manila clams steamed in garlic and butter, followed by some Dungeness Crab. Depending on how it is prepared, halibut can be quite tasty, but I find most whitefish to be bland and nearly tasteless.

Oh, and a nice fillet of Pacific wild salmon (none of this Atlantic or farmed fish nonsense) cooked over an alder fire, grilled on a bar-b-cue, or steamed with lemon and dill works well, particularly topped with a mango salsa or a dill sauce.

Finding great seafood can be more difficult than the actual cooking itself. I like Beef Wellington a lot. I think Cozumel is best for sea food.

Best seafood- Coast of Maine
Just outside of Bar Harbor at one of those roadside lobster shacks, sitting at a picnic table.
Great lobster at a place with "no-name".

Can't say I've had much world experience with such things, but there's a really good seafood restaurant in Fort William (West Scotland). Very small place, but very very good seafood.

I stayed at the Wensleydale Heifer in the Dales once, and apparently it was the AA Seafood Pub of the Year.

Bit odd, given its lack of proximity to the sea...

Which is exactly why I was always suspicious of the 99-cent shrimp cocktail in Vegas.

Get down to the south west of UK, devon/cornwall, some lovely fish eateries down there! Look out for Rick Stein places!! Or plaices!! haha!

I would also recommend Englishes and Fishy Fishy in Brighton!! I recently tried Oysters in Fishy Fishy, I had two so the first one can't have been too bad!!
