Seafood Restaurants in Connecticut

When Guy Fieri brought his red Camaro to Connecticut between 2009 and 2011, he uncovered some seriously flavorful seafood joints that have kept locals and visitors coming back for more. The Constitution State’s coastal communities delivered exactly what Triple D fans crave: authentic, no-frills spots serving up fresh catches with plenty of character.

From the classic American vibes at Merritt Canteen Inc. in Bridgeport, boasting a solid 4.3-star rating, to the charming waterside atmosphere of Black Duck Café in Westport, these two Connecticut establishments earned their spot in the Flavortown hall of fame. With an average rating of 4.2 stars across both locations, it’s clear that Guy’s picks have stood the test of time—both restaurants remain open and thriving today.

Whether you’re cruising along the Connecticut coast or making a special trip to experience these Triple D-approved destinations, Bridgeport and Westport offer seafood experiences that earned the ultimate stamp of approval from the Mayor of Flavortown himself.
