Embark on a gastronomic journey through Atlanta's top seafood restaurants, where the catch of the day meets Southern comfort and culinary caprice.
Doos Seafood @ Stone Mountain embodies Cajun charm with its vibrant atmosphere and delicious seafood selection, notably the shrimp and crab legs. While the gumbo might not be for everyone, due to its high sodium content, the seafood is a hit. Although the prices may seem lofty, for those looking to experience the bayou in Atlanta, Doos offers a flavorful adventure, provided the bill doesn't dampen the spirit.

At Prime Seafood Market, the journey for fresh mussels and a decadent 'Trinity' platter is worth the hour's drive for many. Despite the sumptuous bites, the customer service sometimes falters, leaving patrons feeling less than valued. Thrifty seafood lovers might consider bringing their own butter sauce, as the restaurant is known to be parsimonious with this coveted condiment. Nevertheless, if you prioritize taste over service, Prime Seafood Market's offerings could be a delight worth braving.

The Costa Azul Fresh Seafood Restaurant presents a gamble with each visit, offering standout dishes such as tostadas de ceviche and perhaps the not-so-lucky overcooked tilapia. The service mirrors the inconsistency found in the kitchen, making this spot better suited for those without a time constraint. For the adventurous palate and those not deterred by variability, Costa Azul may serve as an intriguing, if unpredictable, dining destination.

At Savannah Seafood, opinions waver, with some customers celebrating the seafood specials like the fried snapper and flavorful Yum Yum sauce, while others find the culinary execution lacking in zest. The friendly staff adds a welcoming touch to the dine-in experience. While some risk-averse diners may shy away, those willing to take a chance on a top-notch meal at a fair price might just find themselves pleasantly surprised.

Seafood Cafe Riverdale serves up Southern hospitality on a plate, with portions that are as generous as the ambiance is inviting. While some patrons may nitpick the size of the crab legs, the enticing menu - highlighted by a sumptuous 'Feast for 2' - appeals to most. The prices are not the lowest in town, but if you're seeking hearty seafood with a dash of homeliness, this eatery is worth a visit. It's an establishment I would readily revisit for another tasty fix.
