Dock-to-Door Seafood Straight From the Chesapeake
Dock-to-Door Seafood Straight From the Chesapeake
Harris Seafood Company’s old processing house opened its doors in 1941 on the Kent Narrows Waterway in the Chesapeake Bay, and it’s been an Eastern Shore tradition ever since. “Captain Bill” Harris and his wife Sis opened Harris Crab House on the processing house’s front dock back in 1981 so locals could enjoy fresh Maryland seafood straight from the source, and in 1991 a new waterfront Crab House opened nearby, with open air decks overlooking the narrows and fresh seafood arriving at the dock daily.
Today, Harris Crab House is the only remaining oyster house operating year-round in Maryland, and it’s run by the fifth-generation Harris family. They buy their seafood from about 350 local watermen and employ about 140 locals, and are committed to bringing the very best Maryland seafood, from Jumbo Lump crab cakes to elegant Oyster Imperial, straight from the dock to your door.
