You could smell the seafood feast we were making in the DelmarvaLife kitchen up and down the hallways at WBOC.
Labor Day weekend is coming up and we’ve got the seafood connection covered for you. Joe White with The Shrimp Boat in Ocean City, Md. is showing us how to make a seafood feast on this week’s DelmarvaLife Facebook Live Show.
The Shrimp Boat has fresh, local seafood each and everyday. Joe told us all about where the crabs are caught and picked, how early in the morning the salmon was caught that day, and the different things that the Shrimp Boat offers.
You can shop at their market and take it home to cook and eat, or you can have it cooked there and then take it home, or lastly, you can dine in at their restaurant on location as well. The Shrimp Boat also caters!
Joe also told us about The Salty Wave in Harrington, Del. which he oversees as well.
If you have any questions about either of these restaurants or to place a Labor Day order, call (410) 213-0448 or check them out on Facebook!
