The Seafood Bar

Not willing to settle with the success of just one restaurant, noted seafood importer and Oyster Bar owner Billy Marinelli recently opened a new place.

The Seafood Bar is a bigger version of his first baby, featuring even more fresh seafood from around the world. 

"The Seafood Bar is a perfect Western-style alternative in Bangkok for utterly fresh seafood and shellfish, both raw and cooked," says Best Eats judge Florence. "Billy Marinelli has been importing fresh seafood to Asia for over 20 years, and now has a shopfront at the Seafood Bar to showcase his products. Don’t miss their tasting tiers."

Expert panelist Tim Footman has his own advice: “Marinelli’s latest venture offers delicious grilled and pasta options, but your best bet is to plow through the seafood platter, which is groaning with the best oysters, crab, clams and anything else that looks good off the boats. The Sunday all-you-can-eat lunch is especially good value.”

The Seafood Bar has won the hearts of expats from the U.S. East Coast, as it serves delicious Atlantic offerings such as live Maine lobster and creamy New England clam chowder.

Unlike many high-end restaurants in Bangkok, The Seafood Bar doesn't drown the flavors of its seafood with unnecessary sauces or peculiar combinations. Dishes are kept blessedly simple.
