On the Bay Seafood

If you’re in Ocean City and craving fresh, flavorful seafood—On the Bay Seafood is the spot. We had some of the best crabs we’ve ever tasted—perfectly seasoned, fresh, and packed with flavor. You can tell they know what they’re doing here.

Not only is the quality top-notch, but the prices are incredibly fair—especially compared to other places in the area. It’s honestly the best bang for your buck when it comes to crab in OCMD.

Be warned: this place is no secret. Depending on when you arrive, you may be in for a bit of a wait—but it’s totally worth it. Bring your patience and your appetite, and you’ll leave happy.

Definitely a must-visit for any seafood lover! 🦀🔥

I’ve been a customer for the last 19 years. They constantly have THE best crabs. There have been times we’ve done a long weekend from CT to Ocean City just to go to On The Bay. Rob and Rose run the absolute best crab shack and are great people to boot.

Tried my first crabcake here. It was phenomenal. I'm not sure about what the market prices are, but it was indeed expensive. This seems like a great place to get locally caught seafood after an evening on the beach. They have outdoor seating but with a sandbox floor.
