20 Best Seafood Restaurants in Wilmington

“😍Tucked just off the road like a well-kept secret, Snuff Mill Steakhouse & Butchery is a revelation—a celebration of fine dining wrapped in the warmth of a neighborhood favorite. Step inside, and you’re greeted by a cozy, intimate interior that feels both polished and personal. High tables, rich wood tones, and a welcoming bar set the tone. And just to the left of the entrance, a gleaming meat case—like a culinary altar—builds anticipation with its marble-cut promise of things to come. Whimsy lives here too, from the surprise artworks to the playful presence of pigs in unexpected places (don’t miss the one keeping watch near the door). The wine list? Impeccably curated, with a focus on hand-selected bottles that beg to be explored. Cocktails are more than drinks—they’re small works of art, mixed with precision by bartenders who clearly care. Then there’s Bill Irvin—proprietor, oyster whisperer, and front-of-house magician. A certified oyster expert, Bill pairs briny beauties with grace and authority. The chef and kitchen brigade bring French-influenced finesse to every plate, sourcing only the finest local ingredients. The results? Steaks seared to sublime, seafood that sings, and appetizers that linger on the palate like a good memory. The in-house pastry chef seals the deal—so save room. The desserts are nothing short of transportive. Snuff Mill is more than a meal; it’s a destination. Guests travel from near and far, and once you’ve experienced it, you’ll understand why.“

“My family and I were visiting from out of state and looking for fried fish. This place was perfect! The fish was so good and for me, it was more than the seasoning. The pieces were big and had the right amount of crunch. Loved it!

Vegetarian options: All sides are beef and pork free.“

“Cam n Noah just wonderful order crabs every weekend always awesome“

“I'm on a road trip just passing through. I was looking for a seafood restaurant that was not a corporate chain. I saw a sign for the Reef Seafood and Steak restaurant in Wilmington, Delaware, and I went there. I had the calamari and the sea scallops. They were both delicious! I was so glad I stopped. My waitress was very friendly and professional.“

“Work across the street for 15+yrs & have been patronizing this establishment ever since… Food & service have always been excellent! We like breakfast best, even if it’s lunchtime. Have placed up to 10 orders for staff & everything was perfect. Hidden gem in the city. Never been disappointed & prices are reasonable.“

“I love this seafood spot the owner is so friendly 💖💖 see you soon“

“First time ordering from here tonight and we WILL BE BACK… like a lot. We live in pike creek and will make the drive. We got the red beans and rice, gumbo and tomato soup and we need to try the rest of the menu! My husband and I just got back from New Orleans and my husband was sad because he loved the food so I googled and found this place! The gumbo was literally better than we had down there 😍 SO GOOD. And everyone working when I picked up (one was the owners daughter) were so passionate about how they make everything from scratch and kept giving me samples of everything and telling me their story. It’s a WONDERFUL locally owned place that should be protected at all costs. Cannot recommend enough!“

“I have been there 4 times already I absolutely love this place . I get the cinnamon french toast oh my goodness it is so good. I could not put my fork down . Everything was excellent!!! My new breakfast and lunch spot!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“Feby’s has the most delicious seafood. Always fresh and never disappoints.“

“I enjoyed the blue crabs I got from here. Upon ordering we were asked if we would like to add beer as an ingredient and we said yes. This gave the crabs more flavor and made them very juicy. They have a hot or mild seasoning to choose from. The hot is spicy so be careful. Adding butter garlic is an extra charge. We also tried the Cajun crab sliders. They were a bit too spicy for us, but tasted good. All forms of payment accepted.“

“I’ve only had wings from here but they are always fresh,hot, XHARD as I prefer upon ordering wings aren’t scary big, meat is white & clean I typically order lemon pepper but I’ve tried other flavors this is my fav ?combo 10 wings fries and soda for 14.99“

“Fantastic place. The food was delicious w/ every bite. Staff were so friendly and caring. Everything I ate/enjoyed I savored and it left me wanting another plate, but I left so filled and pleased with the whole experience. Can't wait to return!“
