• Chesapeake Seafood Market

About Us

Chesapeake Seafood has been a part of the Eastern Shore for more than 30 years. Ed Higgins was an eastern shore native who grew up in a family or working watermen on the Miles, Wye, and Choptank rivers. In the early 1960’s Ed traded in the watermen life and began an oyster and soft shell clam shucking house. It didn’t take long for Mr. Higgins to expand beyond the shucking house to the restaurant, catering, and seafood market businesses in both St. Michaels and Ocean. City. The business expanded to buying and selling seafood up and down the east coast including New York City and Boston.

Today the business operates a robust catering business and a seafood market. We offer the best steamed eastern shore crabs.


We pride ourselves in offering a wide variety of seafood such as steamed crabs, lobster, shrimp, stone crabs, oysters, mussels, and little neck clams to whole fish and fish fillets like rock fish, salmon, grouper, tuna, halibut, swordfish, trout, wahoo, and chilean sea bass.

We work with small independent fishermen from New England to Florida to ensure our fish come directly from the water to you. We overnight fresh products every day ensuring that we receive a wide variety of the freshest seafood available.

We hand cut all of our fish in small quantities to provide the finest quality fillets. We will be happy to cut your fish to order or fill your special order needs.
