Chesapeake Oysters

in Baltimore, MD

Baltimore’s oyster tradition spans raw Chesapeake oysters, fried oysters, oyster stew, and the old oyster-house culture of a working port. The flavor is briny, seasonal, and tied to the bay as closely as the city’s crab.

Did you know?

Baltimore’s historic oyster trade supported fleets, packing houses, and generations of shuckers before the city’s working waterfront became known primarily for restaurants and markets.
