Here in Oregon, we are lucky to have access to an abundance of fresh, flavorful seafood. Wild salmon, Albacore tuna, Dungeness crab, shrimp, oysters, and rockfish — you’ll find a bounty of amazing catches along the Oregon Coast. While there are numerous exemplary places to go for seafood, today we’re focusing on seven superlative spots, each of which brings something unique to the table. No matter where you’re located in the state, these seven Oregon Coast seafood restaurants are absolutely worth visit.

Mo’s Seafood & Chowder - various locations, including Newport (pictured)

Mo’s Seafood & Chowder/Facebook If you’re on the hunt for the best clam chowder on the Oregon Coast, you’ll find it at Mo’s. Mo’s chowder is legendary in The Beaver State, with folks standing in long lines for a big, ole bowl of this crave-worthy meal. Pro tip: order it in a fresh sourdough bread bowl!

Luna Sea Fish House - Yachats

Robert Mungary/Google Local There are countless places to go in Oregon for good fish and chips in Oregon, but for great fish and chips? That’s easy: Luna Sea Fish House in Yachats. This turquoise blue seafood shack dishes up the lightest, crispiest, most melt-in-your-mouth fish and chips in the state!

Bandon Fish Market - Bandon

Rick Whitten/Google Local You can’t go wrong with any of the items at this unassuming fish market in Bandon, but the chowder here really is on another level. While Bandon Fish Market has a solid version of your traditional clam chowder, their smoked salmon chowder is extraordinary. They only prepare small batches of this seafood soup each day, and once it sells out, it’s gone!

The Schooner Restaurant & Lounge - Netarts

The Schooner Restaurant & Lounge/Facebook There’s a lot to love about The Schooner Restaurant & Lounge, starting with its picturesque location right on Netarts Bay. The cioppino stew here is an exuberant celebration of Oregon’s bounty, and features fresh-caught seafood and local ingredients.

Restaurant Beck - Depoe Bay

Restaurant Beck/Facebook The ambiance at Restaurant Beck, located inside Depoe Bay’s Whale Cove Inn, almost overshadows the delicious fare, which is itself almost too beautiful to eat. Almost. The menu changes based on what’s freshest and in season; you’ll find everything from sea scallops, salmon, sturgeon, and steelhead on the menu at any given time. Dining here is one of the most memorable experiences you’ll have in Oregon, and truly a bucket-list must.

Local Ocean Seafoods - Newport

Another Oregon Coast seafood restaurant that deserves honorable mention is Tony’s Crab Shack, a wonderful little restaurant that serves some of the most delicious seafood in the state. Definitely pay Tony’s a visit when you go to Bandon Fish Market, as these two gems are located on the same boardwalk!
