Seafood Restaurants in Minnesota

When Guy Fieri rolled his red Camaro into the Land of 10,000 Lakes, he discovered that Minnesota’s seafood scene is making serious waves. Between 2010 and 2020, Triple D showcased three standout seafood spots across the state, proving that you don’t need an ocean view to find flavor-packed fish and shellfish. From the bustling streets of Minneapolis to the charming town of Cloquet, these restaurants earned an impressive average rating of 4.6 stars.

Leading the pack is Gordy’s Hi-Hat in Cloquet, a 4.7-star gem that caught Guy’s attention with its old-school charm and fresh catches. Down in Minneapolis, Smack Shack at The 1029 Bar serves up lobster rolls and seafood that had the Mayor of Flavortown reaching for seconds. While one of these beloved spots has since closed its doors, two remain open and ready to transport your taste buds straight to the coast. Whether you’re craving crispy fried fish or buttery crustaceans, Minnesota’s Triple D-approved seafood destinations deliver the goods.
