Dip in to Oyster Season
Oyster season is in full swing and the best bivalves on the bay are now landing on wharves all over Calvert County.
 Long a part of Southern Maryland heritage, oysters have been a treasured delicacy since Native Americans inhabited the area. When Capt. John Smith mapped the Chesapeake Bay in 1608, he recorded that oysters "lay as thick as stones." Today the movement to restore oyster populations is succeeding in the Chesapeake Bay and is supporting the farm-to-plate phenomenon sweeping our region.
Whether raw, steamed, fried or Rockefeller, whether by the bushel or by the dozen, put oysters on your menu. To help you get started, we have collected some of the favorite recipes from local restaurateurs. You can find the freshest local catch at these seafood suppliers:
