Seafood has covered itself with a halo of virtue over the last few years, recommended by dietitians and doctors for its relatively low calorie count, richness in minerals like iron and iodine, ease of preparation, and omega-3 fatty acids. New York is fortunate to be right on the ocean, and some of the best seafood sold in restaurants is locally and sustainably caught.

Many traditions inform our seafood consumption. From Japan and Korea come the eating of raw fish as sushi; from New England and Canada come chowders; while France contributes soup de poisson and bouillabaisse. Mexico, Peru, and Ecuador have their ceviches, while Cantonese whole-fish recipes are renowned for their delicacy — and there are too many other schools of seafood available for New Yorkers to count.

Le Bernardin

Johnny’s Reef has been open in the Bronx for six decades, the local’s pick among a handful of City Island seafood restaurants. If offers great waterfront views at the tip of the island and a no-frills set-up, with unfussy plates of steamed clams, fried calamari, lobster rolls, and even soft-shell crabs. There’s a standard beer selection but consider a frozen drink. It’s cash only, though there is an ATM on site.

Abuqir

While Astoria Seafood may be more known as the Queens pick-your-own-seafood spot, there’s something to be said about Abuqir. The Egyptian restaurant is less touristy and a smaller footprint, but the format is the same: Saddle up to the counter, select the catch, and tell the team how you want it cooked. In addition to whole fish, there are seafood pastas, and sides like eggplant with tomatoes and Greek salad. Take note this is no frills, but the seafood is worth it.

Le Bernardin

Eric Ripert’s temple of fine dining has held a rare four-star status since 1986, the year it opened, from the New York Times. The classic French restaurant is a celebration of seafood, with a $325 dinner tasting menu that includes hamachi, shrimp from Montauk, salmon caviar, and grilled hiramasa. Lunch is a prix-fixe menu of three courses for $127.

Point Seven

Chef Franklin Becker, co-founder of fast-casual Little Beet, AI grocery app Hungryroot, and the big-pocket backer of Manhattanville food hall, opened Point Seven with Stephen Loffredo (from Cena and Jovia) inside the MetLife building. The two-story restaurant features a raw bar, small plates, and fish dishes like grilled swordfish with chickpeas and couscous, and a Caribbean fish stew. The name of the restaurant is a reference to the earth’s composition which is 70 percent water, so the interior pushes the oceanic theme with coral-like lighting fixtures, curved seafoam-colored banquettes, and broken terrazzo floors, like sea glass.

Grand Central Oyster Bar

The tile-lined, arched, and subterranean space at Grand Central Oyster Bar is one of the few places displaying Guastavino vaulting, and it may be the most dramatic place to eat your fish and chips in the city. The fish is textured and flaky, and the fries are exceptional, too — and you’ve never seen a thicker tartar sauce. The move is to sit at the bar and start with oysters.

Mermaid Oyster Bar

With multiple locations in Manhattan, and a memorably playful iconography, Mermaid Oyster Bar and its offshoots started out in the East Village (branch no longer open) as a hip seafood spot with a menu that ran to raw oysters, chowders, crab cakes, fried calamari, and slaw, slaw, and more slaw.

Ariari

Ariari is just one restaurant in the burgeoning empire of prolific Hand Hospitality restaurateurs Kihyun Lee and Jinan Choi.
