You don't have to hit the beach on vacation to enjoy divine seafood. In the Asheville area, one local restaurant gets catches sent by a Maine fisherman, and another features a waterfront seafood dining room. There is a local trout farm that supplies various local restaurants so it can be served fresh out of the water.
What makes seafood special in Asheville is its preparation and presentation. Get some insight with a video demonstration of a healthy seafood dish by Lobster Trap's executive chef, or see an oyster shucking video. You can even find several seafood recipes from local chefs on our list of healthy recipes from locals.
