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.
