Best Seafood Restaurants in Las Vegas 2026: Oysters to Whole Fish

Las Vegas is hundreds of miles from the ocean, but seafood is flown in daily and some of the city's best restaurants are built around it. This guide covers the seafood restaurants we could confirm on their own websites in September 2026, from Greek whole fish at The Venetian to a counter-only oyster bar off the Strip, with their locations, hours and what they are best at. Menus and prices change with the catch, so check before you go.

Older lists still mention a few places in the wrong spot: Estiatorio Milos is now at The Venetian, not The Cosmopolitan, and Ocean Prime is at 63 CityCenter, not Caesars Palace.

At a Glance

Upscale Seafood on the Strip

Estiatorio Milos at The Venetian

Milos serves Greek and Mediterranean seafood, and the fish is displayed whole on ice so you can choose what is cooked. It is one of the few top Strip seafood restaurants open for lunch.

• Where: The Venetian, 3355 Las Vegas Blvd. South.
• Hours: lunch daily 11:30 a.m.–3 p.m.; dinner 5–11 p.m. Sunday to Thursday and until 11:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday. Between 3 and 5 p.m. only the bar and raw bar are open.
• Tip: whole fish is usually priced by weight; ask the server what a fish for your table will cost before it goes to the grill.

Water Grill at the Forum Shops

Water Grill's menu changes daily around fish, lobsters, crabs, oysters and shellfish. Its seasonal menu in September 2026 featured wild Columbia River king salmon, Gulf of Alaska halibut and Santa Barbara spot prawns.

• Where: Forum Shops at Caesars Palace, 3500 Las Vegas Blvd. South.
• Hours: Sunday to Thursday 11 a.m.–10 p.m., Friday and Saturday 11 a.m.–11 p.m.

Joe's Seafood, Prime Steak & Stone Crab

Lettuce Entertain You's stone-crab restaurant is in the Forum Shops at 3500 Las Vegas Blvd. South. It serves seafood and steaks, with a classic three-course lunch on weekdays, and takes reservations on OpenTable or on (702) 792-9222. Stone crab is seasonal; ask when you book whether it is on the menu.

Ocean Prime at 63 CityCenter

Ocean Prime is a seafood and steak restaurant on the fourth floor of 63 CityCenter, overlooking Las Vegas Boulevard at Harmon Avenue.

• Hours: weekday lunch 11:30 a.m.–4 p.m.; weekend brunch noon–3 p.m.; dinner from 4 p.m. Monday to Friday and 3 p.m. at weekends, until 10 p.m. (11 p.m. Friday and Saturday).

Mastro's Ocean Club

Mastro's is a steak-and-seafood restaurant at 3720 Las Vegas Blvd. South, in the shops next to ARIA. Its signature is the "Tree House", a sculptural wooden dining structure, and there is live music nightly from 6 to 10 p.m.

• Parking: valet at Crystals; Mastro's doesn't validate. There is no happy hour.

Catch at ARIA

Catch mixes seafood, sushi and steak in a high-energy room at ARIA, open for dinner daily 5–10:30 p.m. The dishes it is known for are the Catch roll (crab, salmon, miso-honey) and truffle sashimi (tuna and hamachi with chili ponzu, caviar and black truffle). It suits groups who want a scene as much as a seafood dinner.

PISCES at Wynn

Wynn lists PISCES as its Mediterranean seafood restaurant, with coastal cocktails and views of the Lake of Dreams. Check Wynn's site for hours and reservations.

The Oyster Bar at Palace Station

A local legend a short drive west of the Strip at Palace Station. It is best known for its pan roasts: a creamy tomato stew with your choice of seafood, finished with a little brandy. On its current menu, the Palace Pan Roast (shrimp, crab, chicken and andouille sausage) is $31.99, cioppino and seafood jambalaya are $31.99 each, and Gulf oysters on the half shell are $20.99 for six or $28.99 for a dozen. There is also a "Bouill-Roast" the menu calls a secret-menu item revealed by popular demand.

It is a small room, so go at off-peak times if you can, and call (702) 367-2411 for current hours.

Sushi and Japanese Seafood

For raw fish, the city's Japanese restaurants are the place to go: Mizumi at Wynn (with omakase and fish flown from Japan daily), Nobu's three Las Vegas restaurants, Zuma at The Cosmopolitan, and omakase counters such as Kabuto in Chinatown. Our sushi guide covers them in detail.

Seafood at Buffets

If you want a lot of seafood in one sitting, a buffet is the value play. Wynn describes The Buffet as sixteen live kitchens with fresh seafood and tableside lobster. Most other big Strip buffets have crab legs and a seafood station, often with the best selection at dinner and at weekends. Check prices by meal and day on the resort's site; our buffets guide compares them.

How to Choose

Tips for Ordering Seafood

• Ask what came in today. Good seafood restaurants are happy to tell you what is freshest and where it is from.
• Check "market price" before you order. Whole fish, lobster and crab are often priced by weight or by the day; ask for the number.
• Oysters: order a mix of East and West Coast if they have both; East Coast oysters tend to be brinier, West Coast sweeter and creamier.
• Shellfish allergies: tell the server when you order; shared raw-bar and fry stations mean cross-contact is possible.
• Save with lunch. Several of the restaurants above serve lunch, which is usually cheaper than dinner for the same kitchen.
