The best Seafood restaurants in Pittsburgh

   Fet-Fisk5.0

   Bloomfield · $$$ · No. 1 of 157 overall

   A genuine five. Nothing else in the city cooks like this. Nordic technique, house-cured fish, fearless flavor. The catch: it's tiny with oddball hours. Plan your week around it; it's worth it.

   Order: Smoked sturgeon pate with seeded crackers

   Monterey Bay Fish Grotto4.4

   Mt. Washington · $$$$ · No. 30 of 157 overall

   Fresh fish and the city's best window seat. You're paying for the view as much as the plate. Fair trade for a special night.

   Order: Fresh fish + the city's best window seat

   Del Frisco's Double Eagle Steakhouse4.1

   Downtown · $$$$ · No. 38 of 157 overall

   Big, loud, and good at what it does. The steaks land, the seafood tower is a flex, and the room hums. Pricey, but it delivers the special-occasion goods.

   Order: 22 oz bone-in prime ribeye

   Hyde Park Prime Steakhouse4.1

   North Side · $$$$ · No. 39 of 157 overall

   A grown-up special-occasion steakhouse on the North Shore where the staff actually knows what they're doing and the beef shows up cooked exactly how you asked. Get the colossal shrimp cocktail, order a ribeye, and finish with the banana foster butter cake before you waddle out to the ballgame.

   Order: Bone-in ribeye, ordered "Rooney" style with lobster and mushrooms piled on top

   Muddy Waters Oyster Bar3.7

   East Liberty · $$$ · No. 77 of 157 overall

   A proper oyster bar in a landlocked city, which should not work and does. Tight room, good shucking, and a martini list that knows what it is doing.

   Order: A dozen on ice and a martini

   Penn Avenue Fish Co3.7

   Strip District · $$ · No. 79 of 157 overall

   A fish market that got tired of watching people leave hungry. The Friday fish sandwich is the size of a forearm and the sushi counter is a genuine surprise in a room that smells like ice.

   Order: The fish sandwich on a Friday

   Wholey's Fish Market3.6

   Strip District · $ · No. 96 of 157 overall

   A Strip fish market since 1912 with a cult fish sandwich. Order at the counter and eat among the seafood cases. Very Pittsburgh.

   Order: Half-pound battered cod fish sandwich

   Original Oyster House3.2

   Downtown · $ · No. 133 of 157 overall

   The oldest bar in Pittsburgh, and it does one thing: a fried fish sandwich bigger than the roll it arrives on. Cash, formica, no ceremony. A genuine landmark that still feeds people.

   Order: The fish sandwich, obviously

    Grand Concourse3.0

    South Side · $$$ · No. 152 of 157 overall

    The most beautiful dining room in Pittsburgh, full stop. A restored 1901 railroad station with a vaulted stained-glass ceiling. The seafood is solid, the brunch is a Pittsburgh institution, and honestly you're paying for the room. Worth it once for the jaw-drop.

    Order: Sunday brunch buffet under the stained glass
