Virginia does not beg for attention when it comes to seafood. It just quietly keeps delivering, from Chesapeake Bay crabhouses to oceanfront grills at the beach to the riverfront spots that Richmond locals will fight you over.
The state has the water, the history, and the kitchen talent to back it all up. Blue crabs, fresh oysters, fried fish that would make a coastal grandmother proud, it is all here and every bit of it is worth the drive.
The catch with these places? Everybody knows about them…
