Chincoteague Island rightly has a reputation for fresh delicious seafood. The Mid-Atlantic Coast has a long history as a major fishery and Chincoteague has always been a fishing village. The locals have fishing in their blood. They know how to catch seafood and prepare it just right! While staying at our Chincoteague B&B, you certainly can’t miss out on our local restaurants serving these fresh fruits from the sea.

Below is a sampling of Chincoteague seafood restaurants and dining experiences. This is by no means the end-all-be-all list! There are far more options to suit seafood- and non-seafood-lovers alike. For a more complete list, please visit the Chincoteague Chamber of Commerce. Here are a few Chincoteague seafood places to whet your appetite:
