With people, in general, being more health-conscious, hitting the gym and having cleaner diets have become the new way of life for many persons. More and more people are moving away from diets that include poultry and red meat and are switching to strict pescatarian and vegan diets.

With our most popular dishes being jerk chicken, oxtail, stew peas, curried goat, stew pork, and many others that are made mainly of ingredients that are not quite suited for healthier diets, visitors may be left wondering if their dining options will be limited.

Well, rest assured that your options will be numerous, for seafood restaurants in Jamaica. Here is a list of 10 of the best options in no particular order:

1. The Houseboat Grill

Originally built in the 1970s and operated as a bar and nightclub, the Houseboat Grill was rebranded as this unique and elegant seafood restaurant in 2001. Enjoy an array of lobster and seafood dishes while taking in the ambience and the live music. The restaurant does specialize in seafood dishes, but you will still be able to find vegetarian and chicken dishes on their menu as well.
