Seafood around Hua Hin and Prachuap isn't all in one place — it spreads out by area. The Khao Takiab market gets buzzing in the evening: pick your seafood fresh out front and the kitchen cooks it for you on the spot. Pak Nam Pran and Prachuap Bay are more about big-table seafront restaurants where the whole family can settle in for a long, breezy meal. We've split the list by area so it's easy to plan around your trip.
Khao Takiab & Hua Hin area
Ple Seafood Khao Takiab
A long-running seafront spot in the Ao Hua Don lane at Khao Takiab. The draw is sitting right by the water and ordering whatever's fresh that season — blue crab, prawns, shellfish, cooked homestyle and boldly seasoned. It's the kind of place Hua Hin locals have been bringing relatives to for years.
Ao Takiab Seafood Hua Hin
Sitting on Hua Don Beach with an almost 180-degree open sea view. People often order the fried rice loaded with crab meat, fresh Surat oysters, and seafood tom yum. Good for an afternoon meal that runs into the sunset.
Krua Ban Kru Khao Takiab
A long-established place on Hua Don Beach that's been open for over twenty years. The selling point is fresh seafood at prices that don't sting — ideal if you want a seafront seafood meal without paying a premium. Order the steamed fish and crab in curry powder and share it around.
Tip
The Khao Takiab market gets very busy on weekend evenings. If you'd rather not wait in line, get there before 17:00 — it's easier to grab a seafront table and the fresh seafood selection is still fuller than it is later at night.

Half a day with a local who knows the lanes — or cooking a dish yourself — teaches you more than just eating. Book ahead on Klook or GetYourGuide.
Hua Hin town area
Sabai Sabai Seafood (Hua Hin Soi 105)
An in-town place that's been open for nearly ten years, a popular pick for anyone staying around the lower-numbered Hua Hin sois. People talk about the scallops stir-fried in butter, raw marinated egg crab, mixed grilled seafood, and fresh oysters. The price range is wide, from small plates to big set platters.
Saen Suk Som Seafood Hua Hin
A place Hua Hin locals pass on to each other for the cooking. Standouts are scallops stir-fried in garlic butter, melinjo leaves with egg, and coconut-shoot sour curry — seafood mixed with local greens, rounded and not over-seasoned. A good family meal.
Lung Bang Fish-Head Hot Pot Hua Hin
On Naeb Kehas Road, known for piping-hot fish-head hot pot and hot-plate seafood dishes. People like to order stir-fried bitter melon alongside the fish head. Prices are friendly compared with most Hua Hin seafood restaurants — good for a day you want a warm bowl of soup.
Pak Nam Pran & Pranburi area
Pak Nam Pran is about 30 km south of Hua Hin, a fishing village with its own pier. Most places here are big seafront tables with a more laid-back feel than in Hua Hin town — worth the drive out for a long, unhurried meal.
Im Ok Im Jai Seafood Pak Nam Pran
A roomy seafront restaurant with tables that aren't crammed together and a corner where kids can play — good for families or big groups. The seafood is fresh and the plates come out generous. Reviewers praise the relaxed vibe and easy parking.
Mum Pran Pak Nam Pran
A seafront seafood restaurant with live music every Friday and Saturday — good for anyone who wants seafood with some evening tunes and a sea breeze. The seafood menu covers all the standards and works well for sharing.
Baan Mae Phong Sri Pak Nam Pran
A long-established place that's been around for over 30 years. The signature is springy, meaty mackerel fish cakes — the spot Pranburi people think of for old-school flavor. It isn't about fancy views, but the cooking has stood the test of time.
Worth being upfront about
The prices listed are rough figures from reviews. Seafood prices move with the season and the size — big prawns or roe crab, for example, jump a lot when they're pricey. Ask the per-kilo price before ordering anything sold by weight, so there's no surprise when the bill comes.
Prachuap Bay, Sam Roi Yot & Ban Krut area
Sopha Seafood Prachuap Bay
In Prachuap town, with seafood straight from the fishermen and nicely plated. The restaurant is open-air right on Prachuap Bay, with an easy atmosphere, open daily from late morning into the evening. A good stop while you're touring Prachuap town.
Pla Tu Seafood Ban Krut
On Ban Krut Beach, south of Prachuap town. The draw is the quiet Ban Krut sea view and fresh seafood — good if you're driving further south and want a beachfront seafood meal away from the crowds.
Yok Sod Seafood Sam Roi Yot
A local seafood spot around Sam Roi Yot with bold, regional flavors. Open daily roughly 9:30–20:00 — a handy stop while visiting Khao Sam Roi Yot.
Rap Lom Seafood Prachuap
A seafront seafood restaurant in Prachuap town with an easy, breezy feel — good for settling in for a long evening meal.
