Rawai seafood restaurant

Rawai's seafood scene is one of Phuket's best-kept secrets, and the restaurants clustered near Rawai Beach let you pick from live tanks stocked with tiger prawns, squid, and fresh-caught crab before it hits the grill. The vibe is casual and local, with prices that won't sting nearly as much as the chili sauce. Top-rated spots like Rock Salt and Nikitas draw both regulars and newcomers, so you'll want to arrive early or expect a wait.
