When I think of a Seafood Dive I picture a hole-in-the-wall spot that you have second thoughts about even stepping inside, but it ends up being one of the best meals you've ever tasted. That's why I was so excited when I came across this list from Ideal Living about the best seafood dive restaurants. I was even more impressed to learn that there is a North Carolina restaurant listed as one of the East Coast's Best Seafood Dive restaurants. But I have to say after researching each of these restaurants, the term "dive" may be used graciously. The North Carolina spot, which is in Atlantic Beach, looks fantastic. But it also seems a little more high-class than your typical dive spot.

Other restaurants on this list are mainly congregated in the Northeast with one Florida spot making the list as well. All over fresh as can be seafood, cooking in local styles, and are immensely popular with tourists and locals alike. That's the sign of a good establishment. You can read Ideal Living's full article here or keep reading to see which North Carolina restaurant is the east coast's best seafood dive. Have you stopped by there on vacation? I'd love to know how it is!
