Locals know the truth – Delaware is the best place to get seafood on the Eastern Seaboard. When you head to the Delaware coast, you don’t have to deal with the long drives and winding back roads that it takes to track down Maine’s coastal lobster houses, and you don’t have to sit in a room plastered with that flag… you know the one we’re talking about. Skip the big tourist towns and remote seafood restaurants and, instead, enjoy one that’s practically in your own backyard. Seafood doesn’t get any fresher than this!
This 21+ seafood shack is located right on the water in Leipsic, Kent County. Stop in for some of the best crabs you'll ever get to try, and wash down each bite with a cold beer from their impressive tap list.
Woody's is, without a doubt, the crab cake King of Delaware. Order up a traditional crab cake or crab cake sandwich and you'll be blown away! If you've already eaten more crab cakes from Woody's than you can even count, try something with a twist, like the shrimp stuffed crab cakes pictured above.
Matt's Fish Camp has locations in Lewes and Bethany, and whichever spot you choose to visit, you'll be blown away by the freshness of every dish! This seasonal seafood spot is sure to win you over. Be warned, it can get crowded. The lobster rolls are worth the wait!
There is no shortage of seafood in Rehoboth Beach, but you should make sure a visit to Claws is on your vacation to-do list. With All-You-Can-Eat specials, outrageous seafood Bloody Marys, and a great selection from oysters to fried fish, there's something here for everyone to enjoy.
This classy oyster house is a great place to go if you're looking to treat yourself to a one-of-a-kind meal. Whether you're in Rehoboth Beach for a vacation or you're a local willing to make the drive and fight for parking, it's worth every bit of effort, and you'll realize that after you slurp down your first oyster of the night. The selection here is second-to-none!
