Landlocked Colorado Has One of America’s Best Seafood Restaurants
Although Colorado is not widely known across the country for having great seafood, there are many restaurants that curate delicious seafood.
Being in a landlocked state, Colorado does not have easy access to a wide variety of seafood compared to other states.
For example, if you go to the east or west coast and try their seafood, you will notice a difference.

There is great seafood in Colorado, though. Our lakes and rivers provide phenomenal trout, crayfish, and some species of salmon.
Additionally, many fish are flash-frozen. It is a process that preserves seafood. This method makes seafood taste a lot more fresh than it used to be.
Seafood that is transported to Colorado is a lot more reliable these days.
