Top Best Seafood Restaurants in Boystown

"Executive Pastry Chef Erika Chan has a thing for ice cream sandwiches. These “Chan-wiches” are works of art, with rotating flavors of ice cream sandwiched between housemade cinnamon, chocolate spice, or chocolate nib cookies. Black walnut, Irish cream, and lemon gingersnap sandwiches have all been hits, but blueberry cheesecake is Chan’s personal favorite."

"You can be lulled into porky bliss by all the salty-sour-sausagey delights here, but don’t ignore the pristine oysters, clams, and crudo. If you are lucky, the soft-shell crab sandwich will show up as a special.L Mon–Sat (3:30–5:30 p.m.), D nightly."

"Description: Arami, which just reopened after a kitchen fire, is a great spot for both their sushi and hot dishes. Be sure to try the Maguro Spicy Sake under "Speciality Roll," which contains "tuna, torched spicy salmon, jalapeño, cilantro, avocado, ikura, fried shallots and yuzu.". #SpoonFunFact: The restaurant has earned Bib Gourmand designations from the Michelin Guide."

"The best sushi really depends on what type of experience you’re looking for. Yuzu Sushi & Robata Grill has by far the most Instagrammable presentations (going crazy with elaborate sauce designs). There are also a few all-you-can-eat spots that are also great deals (and filling if you’re not looking for the best fish) like Sushi Para M."

"Arami is the rare Japanese restaurant that offers a wide ranging menu, yet somehow, expertly maintains the quality of their food. There are sushi, ramen and even robata (charcoal) grilled items on the menu to choose from. Thanks to having two executive chefs, Arami is able to focus both sushi and hot food from the kitchen."

"South DeeringThis humble Far South Side fish shack has been marinating and smoking their prime seafood over specially selected oak logs onsite since 1948 and, unlike pretty much everything else in this crazy world, precious little about their award-winning process has changed. The menu runs deep, of course, but the shrimp, tender and bursting with briny, meaty succulence, remains an absolute no-brainer.How to book: Stop by for counter service."

"Don't miss this James Beard-honored monument to smoked fish on the far South Side, in business since 1948. Get a paper bag of salmon, shrimp, or black cod and be prepared to eat in the car or on the sidewalk. View this post on Instagram"

"Chicago’s quintessential cash-only seafood smokehouse, located just north of the Indiana border. Why we love it: Remember the bridge-jumping scene in Blues Brothers?. It happened right next to Calumet Fisheries."

"Matthew Kirkley works small—or, as Wonderland’s Alice might have said, in miniature and miniaturer. His takes on impeccably fresh fish and mollusks are expectedly fussy and crazy delicious."

"It might seem like an ordinary barbershop but tucked away behind a false wall is a dope speakeasy that’s super popular amongst Chicago locals. And it’s not your average nightclub: the dance dance is tiny and the space itself is pretty small. But the ambience is unparalleled with stylish seating and trendy decor."

"This Brooklyn sensation opened their second location in Chicago’s Bucktown neighborhood. The Royal Palms Shuffleboard Club has ten shuffleboard courts inside plus another one on the rooftop which they call the “Lido Deck” because it feels like your are on a cruise ship. You can buy food downstairs at one of the rotating weekly food trucks and bring it up to the deck."

"An outpost of the eponymous Brooklyn bar, the Chicago version flaunts its very own rooftop deck. The roof serves the same signature cocktails and beers as downstairs, and has its own shuffleboard court, too. When you get hungry, take a walk to the food truck parked downstairs."

"So come here for the pancakes, but stay for the Gallagher flashbacks. Plus the friendly staff is awesome, and will instantly make you feel like a regular. View this post on Instagram"
