- Coastal Living magazine has listed the “20 All-Time Best Seafood Dives” in the U.S. Casamento’s is listed as number eight on the list. Perhaps the bigger news is that Casamento’s is a dive (really?). “Seafood dives are all about fresh catch, comfort foods, flip-flops and a water view,” said Steele Marcoux, Editor-in-Chief of the Coastal Living brand, via a press release. Casamento’s has a water view? Let’s just say that Casamento’s is so good that the magazine threw all the rules out just to include it in the list. In all honesty, the list is a pretty great road map of some of the best seafood spots in the U.S. and def worth a glance, dive and water view or not.
