My wife loves seafood and her birthday is coming up.  I want to take her to the best one in the area. Any suggestions?

Wish I could tell you.....I'm still learning the area.  From what I can tell most of the seafood is not Bay or VA even seafood.  I'd love to find some mom-n-pop joint that is truly supported by the local watermen.

Check out Captain Chuck-A-Mock's

www.captainchuck-a-mucks.com/

It's not 5 star, but it is good sea food - a lot of it fresh off the boat.  It's in Rescue on the inlet just across the bridge for NN.

It was a Diners, Drive In, & Dives feature a couple of years ago.

Was there again a couple of weekends ago.

Hands down Harpoon Larry's on J. Clyde. The York River Oyster Co. at the York River Yacht Haven on Gloucester Point is excellent too…waterfront, crab deck, live music etc...

Captain Chuckamucks is good food, but it feels like you're spending a lot for paper plates and plasticware.

The Crab Shack at the fishing pier just off of Mercury before the JRB is good.

I would second Harpoon Larry's.

I'm hoping Harpoon Larry's on J.Clyde is an improvement over the one that used to be on Mercury in Hampton.

That old location was nasty.

He's local to me and I almost never eat there; he charges WAY too much for what you get.

This is relevant to my interests since I moved to the area about a month and half ago.

We like the Surfrider "chain".  They are local.  There is one in Poquoson and one in Hampton.  I've never eaten at the one in Poquoson, but the one in Hampton is killer.  My wife loves the crab cakes.

A couple of co-workers have said Captain George's is a good buffet, I can't confirm this though:

Williamsburg is a probably less of a drive than the VA Beach one

Surfrider is very good.  We hit the one on Poquoson every couple of months for lunch.  

If you want a dive then The Fish Market in Hampton is a pretty good spot.   You can buy seafood on ice and then have lunch if you want.   We eat there on occasion too.
