a woman eating a crab
Stepheny S.

I'm a Maryland girl that loves blue crabs, so when we went camping in rock hall (Bayshore campground) I asked the staff for a suggestion on local seafood, lacy the manager was happy to send me in the direction of chest river seafood. Pre ordered a half bushel of #1 males for pick up on Saturday and my gosh when we picked them up they smelled sooooo amazing. I couldn't wait to get them back, but when we finally sat down i was greeted with this huge pile of hot steaming big ole crabs. I'm telling you these were the biggest, heaviest crabs I have ever had in my 33 years. The seasoning is to die for perfect amount on the crabs. Let me not forget to mention they went above and beyond to help us out with steaming some local corn we had picked up from a produce stand. I would recommend this place 100 times over to anyone who would listen

Chester River Seafood always has a nice fresh selection of fish and shellfish. During the season their crabs are plentiful.

I love this place. Fresh crabs, spiced well, and always good. Crab cakes are excellent as well. Here is where I get my blue claw crabs.

Touted as the locals place to eat, it is fabulously divvy! We had good service and enjoy dining on…read morethe deck that overlooks the marina. I ordered the Red Grapefruit Crush, which was very refreshing and delicious. Since we are in Maryland, we ordered the crab dip appetizer. It was creamy and is served in a bread bowl that you break apart to eat. It is a mess eat, but the dip is creamy and delicious. It has an undercurrent of sour cream or maybe cream cheese and it plenty to share with others. My husband had the fried shrimp for dinner with the veggie of the day, local corn on the cob. He said it was crispy and very good. I ordered the Maryland crabcake which was flaky with crab and I had a salad and the corn as well. All of it was prepared perfectly, came out quickly, and was sized perfectly. For dessert we shared the hot apple tart which is served with creamy cinnamon ice cream. Yum! Highly recommend Harbor Shack.

Nothing makes you less likely to return to work after lunch than sitting at one of their dock…read moretables, munching down a great lunch and staring at the variety of ice cold beers. prompt friendly service, but I sensed being "off season" gave us the best experience. Prompt refills on drinks. 8 of us ate, everything from crab cakes to club sandwiches were fresh and tasty. Fries had a clean cook to them , crisp but not over cooked. Solid but not stellar value.
