Jessie Taylor Seafood, located at the Wharf, is a family-owned business that offers a wide selection of fresh seafood from the country’s oldest open-air fish market. The restaurant serves both take-out and hot food for on-site consumption, with tables nearby to enjoy the meal. Popular menu items include fried fish, fried shrimp, jumbo steamed spiced shrimp, and crab cakes. The crab cakes are a standout, highly recommended for seafood lovers. The seafood is fresh and delicious, with some customers noting that nothing beats MD blue crabs. The prices are reasonable, and portions are generous. The whiting may have an abundance of bones, but the pasta salad and French fries are good sides. Parking can be challenging, but recent improvements at the Wharf and the nearby cherry blossoms make the visit worthwhile. Many find the location nostalgic, recalling family visits to buy bushels of crabs, and appreciate the friendly staff who can reheat the crabs if eaten immediately. However, some customers have reported inconsistent service, particularly regarding the quality of oysters served. Despite this, the seafood market is praised for its incredible selection, especially the Chesapeake blue crab that can be cooked on-site for instant enjoyment. Overall, Jessie Taylor Seafood remains a popular destination for seafood lovers, with a mix of delicious offerings and a few service challenges.
