Who has the best seafood on the MS Coast? Vote in final round of the Jackson County bracket

How far would you drive for the freshest seafood, best service and most memorable experience dining in Mississippi?

Thanks to the close proximity of the gulf, coastal residents don’t have to drive far for the best seafood.

With the abundance of fresh seafood and talented chefs at the ready, we’d like to know where you would send someone looking for the best seafood experience on the MS Coast.

We’ve compiled a comprehensive list of seafood restaurants. To keep you from scrolling through hundreds of restaurants to find your favorite one, we divided brackets by counties.

First up, Jackson County, where 28 seafood restaurants are contenders.

The final round of the Jackson County bracket ends Thursday, March 13, at noon. The round includes 5 restaurants. Cast your vote below.
