The 3 Best Seafood Restaurants Around Winchester

In 2021, U.S. residents consumed an average of 20.5 pounds of seafood—finfish and shellfish—per person, a 30 percent increase over the past three decades as more diners embrace coastal flavors in home kitchens and restaurants alike according to Economic Research Service. From farmed salmon filets to Gulf shrimp, seafood menus now fill every niche, from casual pubs to fine-dining rooms. Winchester’s vibrant restaurant scene reflects this trend, with three finalists serving up everything from house-cured Atlantic salmon to sushi rolls and hibachi-grilled scallops.

Whether you opt for the salmon or explore weekly specials, the lakeside setting and attentive service turn every meal into an occasion.
