Time Inc.'s COASTAL LIVING Brand Announces Ranking of the 20 Best Seafood Dives in America

Abbott’s Lobster in the Rough in Noank, CT, Named America’s #1 Seafood Dive

NEW YORK--()--After 20 years of naming the country’s best seafood dives, Time Inc.’s (NYSE:TIME) COASTAL LIVING brand today announced its ranking of the 20 All-Time Best Seafood Dives.

Abbott’s Lobster in the Rough of Noank, CT, grabbed the top spot in the COASTAL LIVING list for its “life-changing” hot lobster roll. Provision Company of Southport, NC, earned the #2 spot for its balance of perfect setting and seafood, and Bowpicker Fish & Chips in Astoria, OR, an old fishing boat on a trailer, took the #3 spot for its “transcendent” albacore tuna fish-and-chips.

Contributing Editor Steve Millburg, who is a seafood dive expert and has visited and reviewed hundreds of restaurants featured in COASTAL LIVING over two decades, ranked the all-star list.

“Seafood dives are all about fresh catch, comfort foods, flip-flops and a water view,” said Steele Marcoux, Editor-in-Chief of the COASTAL LIVING brand, “and we love being the go-to resource for these fantastic spots. We’re thrilled to name the Top 20—you could build a year’s worth of delicious travel from Steve’s list!”
