seafood buffet
Marine cuisine spread
A seafood buffet is a self-service meal featuring an array of fish, shellfish, and other marine foods—typically crab legs, shrimp, oysters, and various prepared dishes.
The format invites repeated trips and overindulgence: We hit the seafood buffet and I ate my weight in crab legs.
Seafood buffets are fixtures of casino restaurants and coastal tourist areas.
