Foodie Paradise

A Taste of the
Eastern Shore

The Chesapeake Bay’s holy trinity – crabs, rockfish, and oysters – reign supreme here. Dishes featuring fresh-from-the-bay seafood can be found on most every menu throughout the county, from down-home crab shacks to the fanciest bistros.

Our robust agricultural community supplies local restaurants and farmers markets with fresh fruits and veggies, milk to make delicious ice cream, and local meats for chef-inspired dishes.

Visit the oldest brewery on Maryland’s Eastern Shore, an award-winning distillery, and enjoy plenty of wine tasting opportunities at every turn.  

Bon appétit! (And don’t forget dessert.)
