As a Marylander, I can say for certain that the one thing I could never do without is good seafood, and I’m willing to bet that there are a lot of you out there who share that sentiment. Luckily while in our great state, we’re never far from the summery taste of the ocean, even if we can’t make it to the coast. Westminster, Maryland is home to rolling hills and gorgeous forests and farmland, but should you happen to find yourself there, you’ll also find the RockSalt Grille. This tremendous seafood restaurant has all the makings of a coastal town staple, and it’s the perfect choice for those days when you just can’t make it all the way to the shore.
Despite being on the plateau in Carroll County, RockSalt serves up the exact flavors you expect from a night out at the beach.
The Crush is Maryland’s signature summer drink, and RockSalt has a dedicated Crush Bar on their patio that rivals anything you’ll find elsewhere in the state. The Blueberry Lemon Crush is excellent for beating the heat.
Oyster bars are an all-time favorite, and RockSalt does theirs wonderfully. They offer daily variety menus and are always bringing in new kinds of this delectable seafood classic.
The salmon poke bowl is highly recommended. The combination of raw fish and mango with seaweed salad served over rice makes for a tropical whirlpool of textures and flavors that’s healthy and filling!
The dessert offerings are out of this world and help to cap off the night. The red velvet cake will send you home having fully satisfied your craving for the nightlife of the beach.
Be sure to keep an eye on RockSalt Grille’s Facebook page, and on their website, for updates regarding daily oyster varieties and hours. Or, if you’d prefer to be on the water and you don’t mind a bit of a search, check out this riverside hidden gem!
