Our Picks for Good Eats at the Beach

•  Fagers Island for fine dining in Ocean City. Enjoy Tchaikovsky’s 1812 Overture while watching the sun set over Assawoman Bay. Located at 60th St. & the Bay.  The web address - www.fagers.com/restaurant .
•  Nicks Ribs is a sure favorite for rib lovers. It has a limited menu but great ribs, chicken & crab cakes. Located on the northbound lane of Coastal Hwy (Rte.1) just over the MD/DE line.
•  Cactus Cafe has the best authentic Mexican fare in Delaware and is always jammed but worth a visit for the seafood chimichangas and live ethnic music!  It’s located on Rte. 54 West before Harris Teeters.
• In the same shopping center as Cactus is Carusos At The Beach. They have the best sandwiches & pizza in the area.  I haven’t tested any of their long list of pasta specialities yet.  Phone them for take out (or eat in)at (302) 436-8301.
•  Georgia House is my favorite place in Sussex County for great Southern cooking and delicious side dishes! My pick is the buttermilk fried boneless chicken breast but Fran swears by the meatloaf.  There are a few around the county but the closest is in the town of Selbyville on Rte. 54 West. If you get lost…the official address is:
  2 E Church St, Selbyville, DE 19975 (corner of Rte. 54)
  Contact Phone: (302) 436-6474
•  Heading north up Coastal Hwy. about a 1/2 hr. drive to the Dewey Beach/Rehoboth area is a great seafood place called “Big Fish”. You can find lots of good fish & seafood here…we’ve never been disappointed! It’s on the southbound lane of Coastal Hwy. Call 302-227-FISH.
•  Looking for some great fried chicken for a picnic on the beach or Assateague Island?  You won’t believe this but the best spot around is Marvin’s Market/Gas Station on Rte. 54 (if you see Harris Teeter, you went too far!)  I’ve called ahead to special order several buckets and it has never disappointed.  You’ll want to give them a call at (302) 436-5001‎.
