Seafood Restaurants in Delhi

Seafood isn’t the first thing that springs to mind when you think of Delhi, and that’s exactly why finding a solid spot feels like a mini adventure. Most good seafood places are tucked away in areas like Connaught Place and Kailash Colony, where you’ll find everything from crisp crab to buttery lobster, often cooked with a subtle Indian twist.

One of my favorites is the old-school ‘Oh! Calcutta’ near Nehru Place. They do Bengali-style fish that tastes just like you’re sitting by the Hooghly River. And if you like your seafood spicy, look for places that serve Kerala or Goan dishes,those punchy coconut and chili flavors round things off nicely. Just a heads up, fresh seafood in Delhi is best enjoyed soon after your order, so avoid any place where stuff looks like it’s been sitting out too long.

Also, try during winter months if you want the freshest catch and best quality. Just ask for the ‘pomfret’ or ‘bombil’ (Bombay duck) while you’re at it, these are Delhi favorites that may surprise you. If you’re craving something casual, some street food stalls around Matia Mahal serve crab and fish fry that many locals swear by. Don’t overlook those little corners,they often pack more flavor than fancy joints.
