You can find fresh sea food at a quiet well good for value price. It is an open market, very nice to visit
Large selection of seafood, frozen or already prepared. Shrimp, clams, crab, lobster, oysters, you name it. Short term parking at the wharf is $5 for 1 to 30 mins. Right off Marine Dr. Update: totally revamped. A great place for seafood, cooked or raw. Fast service. Large selection of seafood.

The Municipal Fish Market at The Wharf offers a wide range of seafood options, including crab cakes, sweet potato fries, coleslaw, and fried fish. Visitors can also purchase fresh blue crab and have it steamed to perfection. The market is situated along the wharf, offering a scenic view and a variety of dining and entertainment options. Multiple stalls on floating barges sell a large variety of seafood, making it interesting to see all the different kinds of fish and shellfish available. The fish is very fresh, and most of it is floating, which adds to the cool experience. Even if not eating, it is worth visiting just to see all the sea creatures, especially crabs. The market also features a Maryland Crab soup, which has been praised as a fantastic brunch option. The staff is friendly, and the prices are fair. Visitors can enjoy a small, hot bowl of soup while strolling along the Wharf, making it a great place to explore and enjoy seafood.
The place is recognized as the oldest continuously operating open-air fish market in the country.
