1. Waterman’s Seafood Co.: A Classic for a Reason

Waterman's Seafood Co Ocean City Maryland

When you ask about Ocean City’s best seafood, Waterman’s Seafood Co. is quite likely one of those places you often hear about. In a way, they offer up big platters of seafood, so everyone gets something they’ll enjoy. You will find it nestled on the water with a setting that has that laid-back, seaside feel. As a matter of fact, many find that the sunsets alone are seemingly worth the trip. They clearly source very fresh catches, and really offer traditional seafood dishes cooked pretty perfectly. Is that, I recommend starting with their Maryland crab soup, it’s peppery and full of crab meat. Follow it up with some steamed blue crabs; they’re basically seasoned generously with Old Bay. Anyway, if you’re like your food cooked instead, consider the broiled seafood platter that. Of course, if the food isn’t enough, their location means they also have sunset views.

That is, their steamed crabs are just cooked with this spice that’s super classic, and that taste kind of screams Maryland, and stuff. And, you know, maybe after you are done picking crabs, you want to grab some photos, or a selfie near the bay? It tends to be a good idea for those of us needing to update the ol’ Instagram feed! You could, say, also pair it with a cold, local brew. By the way, don’t sleep on this view as well.

2. Harrison’s Harbor Watch: Views and Seafood Combined

Perched overlooking the Ocean City Inlet, Harrison’s Harbor Watch is, as a matter of fact, pretty well known for its gorgeous views that could be. They offer really seafood, but their spot also provides one heck of a view that is a perfect combo, right? They usually source ingredients to create something memorable for each guest. So, it isn’t uncommon for one to grab an appetizer and settle down to enjoy what they have, honestly.

For instance, they have some jumbo lump crab cakes; these are some items you really can’t go wrong with. They have an amazing creaminess, honestly. On the other hand, you could try some grilled swordfish paired with some fresh veggies from some regional source! Anyway, if you aren’t in the mood for seafood (I know, what the heck?), they do seemingly have options for you. Apparently, it isn’t that uncommon to spot some locals recommending this one, so. In short, this can be a perfect way to dine and relax. Anyway, did I seemingly mention how pretty it looks around sundown?
