Eastern Shore

We drove down Maryland's Eastern Shore to drop my daughter off at camp and of course I started thinking about Coastal South Carolina. 

We weren't able to procure any local produce but we did stop for seafood.  I planned to go to Joe's Crab Shack - I've heard alot about it but there wasn't a location nearby and the Wilmington store had a 3 hour wait.  That was just as well because it seemed kind of ludicrous to get seafood from a chain given our proximity to the Chesapeake. 

We stopped a Blue Crab, a small place in Galena.  It was very clean and the owners were quite friendly.  They were just about sold out of everything and was more of a seafood grocer than a restaurant, but they offered to steam what we purchased and said we could sit in their soon to be dining area. 

We ordered the remaining shrimp (3/4 lb), sea scallops (1 lb), a dozen clams, vegetable crab soup, potato salad, and macaroni salad.  The seafood was very fresh, almost sweet.  We topped it off with homemade vanilla icecream churned in a 100 year old machine.  Our grand total was $40.
