There’s no doubt that Rhode Island has a whole slew of wonderful seafood restaurants. It’s one of the many reasons that we wear the title of the Ocean State so well. But there is one Narragansett restaurant that stands out. It’s a spot that locals and tourists alike have been enjoying astonishing meals for decades.

Champlin’s Seafood Deck is located in Narragansett right on the waterfront. The restaurant has been serving delicious seafood for 69 years counting on the daily catch from fishing boats coming into the nearby docks.
