In a city where rivers, bays and a Pacific coastline shape the dining scene, seafood remains a pillar of Portland’s restaurants. This list is built from Google ratings and updated for 2026 using a Bayesian-style score that weights average rating by review volume, so outlets with both high marks and many reviews rise to the top. We focused on establishments categorized under seafood-related terms to reflect what locals and visitors actually search for. Whether you’re after casual fish-and-chips or a more formal seafood meal, these picks map across Portland’s neighborhoods to help you find a reliable option near you.

Frequently asked questions
How should I choose a seafood restaurant in Portland?
Look at recent reviews, the number of reviewers, and the menu to match the style you want (casual vs. sit-down). Consider neighborhood convenience, accessibility by transit or parking, and any dietary needs or allergies before you go.
How much should I expect to spend at a seafood restaurant?
Costs vary widely depending on whether the place is a casual fish-and-chips window or a full-service seafood restaurant. Check menus online for sample prices and factor in drinks, tax and tip to get a realistic estimate.
Should I call ahead or make a reservation?
For popular dinner times, special occasions, or larger groups it’s a good idea to call or reserve in advance. For counter-service or walk-up spots, check current hours and any queueing policies before you arrive.
