Atlanta may be landlocked, but we sure do know our stuff when it comes to seafood. This week's Best of Atlanta poll is all about who serves up the best bites from the sea.

Your clear winner this week is Kyma in Buckhead. Hit up their Greek-inspired Octopus Lounge for a variety of fresh-from-the-sea delights prepared simply on a wood grill and basted with olive oil, lemon and oregano.

If you are a seafood lover, then you must dine on oysters to your heart's content at Hugo's in Roswell. Coming in a strong second place, Hugo's menu is seasonal, casual, affordable and, above all, fun.

In a delicious third place, Crawfish Shack Seafood is a Cajun style restaurant with a twist of Vietnamese fusion. To whet your appetite even further, all of their food is cooked to order and uses live seafood during their respected seasons. You won't find another place like this in Atlanta.

If your appetite for all things seafood is insatiable, then we've got your back with our other official nominees: Kimball House (DeKalb), Six Feet Under (Intown), Common Quarter (Cobb), Oyster Bay Seafood Café (Gwinnett) and The Optimist (Intown).

Still want more? (We don't blame you.) Then awaken your seafood taste buds at these Atlanta restaurants.

There are few things better than a good ol' shrimp po'boy. Do this New Orleans favorite up right at these spots around town.

Did somebody say lobster? Nothing says summertime quite like a lobster roll. Yum.
