With hundreds of miles of beautiful coasts, it only makes sense Long Island is also a seafood paradise. There is no place in the United States that does fresh clams and oysters quite like Long Island. Our local restaurants serve up some of the most innovative and tasty seafood dishes around. Some of these restaurants even offer nice waterfront dining experiences. Not only is seafood delicious, but it's also very healthy. Most seafood dishes are loaded with protein and Omega 3-fatty acids, so you can feel great about eating it too.
