Florida is known for many things, including fantastic beaches, amusement parks, and Art Deco buildings. What it isn’t known for, however, is its foodie scene. This has started to change in the past years when active effort was made to develop this. Tallahassee, in particular, has taken advantage of the fact that its fisherfolk catch seafood practically all year round and has been churning out restaurants that serve these as their specialty. Here are some of the seafood restaurants in Tallahassee, Florida to watch out for.

For those who want to enjoy the breeze, there’s outdoor seating here.
