We usually get to Ocean City twice a year - in April for Perfect Date and in October/November to close out the year. We ALWAYS go to On the Bay. Im going to be blunt, if you like seafood and eat anywhere else, I feel sorry for you. This is awesome seafood served hot and fast at a great location and atmosphere. Like seriously, what more could you ask for?

There is about a 50% chance that the person taking your order is the owner, especially early and late in the year. They are awesome people and a joy to talk to.

Every time I go I swear Im going to try something else and every time I get the scallops. SO has gotten the crab but IM stuck on the scallops because they are so so so good. Corn is seasonable so if you go in April it might not be available. Its always awesome.

The location and atmosphere could not be better. Wooden tables with sand at your feet. It doesnt get more beach.

At the height of the summer season On the Beach gets packed and you will wait in line. Its so worth it.

Dont think about it, just go there. You will not be sorry.

Eating at On the Bay is a must do every trip my family takes to OC. In fact, we go multiple times during our stay because you can’t beat the amazing quality and taste of these crabs! The owners are incredibly friendly and personable, along with their amazing and attentive staff. If you’ve never eaten crabs here, you are truly missing out. They are the best!

If you’re in Ocean City and craving fresh, flavorful seafood—On the Bay Seafood is the spot. We had some of the best crabs we’ve ever tasted—perfectly seasoned, fresh, and packed with flavor. You can tell they know what they’re doing here.

Not only is the quality top-notch, but the prices are incredibly fair—especially compared to other places in the area. It’s honestly the best bang for your buck when it comes to crab in OCMD.

Be warned: this place is no secret. Depending on when you arrive, you may be in for a bit of a wait—but it’s totally worth it. Bring your patience and your appetite, and you’ll leave happy.

Definitely a must-visit for any seafood lover! 🦀🔥
