Voted Best Seafood Restaurant in Western North Carolina every year since opening in 2005, a visit to Asheville is not complete without a stop at The Lobster Trap. Located in the heart of downtown, fresh is the name of the game. Famous for flying fresh seafood in from the coast of Maine, using fresh produce from local farmers, and featuring fresh music from local musicians, The Lobster Trap introduced fresh beer in 2009 with the launch of OysterHouse Brewing Company. Be sure to sample the Moonstone Stout during your visit. Experience fun dining “where the mountains meet the sea.”
