10 Best Seafood Restaurants in Phuket

Phuket is renowned for its fresh seafood and it’s almost a rite of passage for visitors to have at least 1 seafood dinner during their stay on the island. However, one surprising aspect of the seafood dining scene in Phuket is the wide range of restaurants serving fish and the array of choices of style, design and environment available for enjoying preparations of shrimp, crab, lobster, calamari and many other fresh catches.

Here are Phuket’s top seafood dining spots that range from simple but immensely enjoyable floating restaurants to well-established island icons of this particular cuisine – the only common denominator being the fare served.

2. Floating restaurants in Phuket

Laem Hin – Koh Maphrao

Phuket’s floating seafood restaurants are known as krachang by Thai locals and are a novel way to dine out on the island. You can easily find them along the east coast of Phuket. The trip often involves a brief but fun long-tail boat ride from Laem Hin Pier towards the restaurants. Besides the dining experience, it can be a great day out all year round, come rain or shine.
