Get Your Hands on Delicious Eastern Shore Crabs
Though you can find plenty of delicious Eastern Shore crabs at the top Rock Hall, MD restaurants, it’s worth talking about this local delicacy. Eastern Shore crabs are, after all, a lasting legacy of our water-laced lands. Crabs are such a way of life here in the summer that there’s even a Maryland Crab & Oyster Trail (Oyster season is in the winter).
There’s something delightful about sitting down at a table full of freshly steamed Eastern Shore crabs, ready to crack into this seasonal treat’s sweet, buttery taste. Almost exclusively, the crabs we enjoy here on the Eastern Shore are Maryland blue crabs caught just offshore in The Chesapeake Bay. They’re served in various ways, including crab cakes, crab soup, soft shell crab sandwiches, and simply steamed (often with Old Bay seasoning). We have a fun guide for how to eat Eastern Shore crabs and where you might find some local crabbing this summer here.Â
The peak season for Eastern Shore crabs is summer, with the season starting in April and lasting through November. The biggest crabs are often harvested later in the season, from September to November. Luckily for seafood lovers, as crab season ends, oyster season ramps up.
If you haven’t booked a room yet, now is the time to do so, especially if you want to get your hands on some of the most delicious Maryland crabs you’ve ever had. Book your room at our Eastern Shore Bed and Breakfast today!
