Delaware is known for being a seafood state, but it constantly gets overshadowed by the bigger players in the seafood industry, like Maine and Maryland. In typical off-centered Dogfish Head fashion, Delaware’s favorite brewery decided to take things into their own hands and bring the best of the best to one location in Rehoboth Beach. Using locally sourced seafood as well as the finest products from Maryland and Maine, Dogfish Head’s Chesapeake and Maine seafood shack has created the ultimate experience for fish and crustacean lovers statewide – the best lobster roll you’ll ever try.
Sam Calagione’s latest contribution to the First State is a wonderful representation of the East Coast’s seafood scene.

Where C&M really shines, though, is in their seafood roll offerings. Try a classic chilled Lobster Roll, a Hot Brown Butter Lobster Roll or the crowd favorite Crab Roll.

Unlike many seasonal seafood shacks in Delaware, Chesapeake and Maine is open daily. Their happy hour at the Raw Bar (and regular bar!) runs from 4 PM to 6 PM, and dinner service is from 4 PM to 9 PM. On Fridays and Saturdays, they’re open until 10 PM.
