Ocean City prides itself in tempting the taste buds of all ages and persuasions in keeping with its affordable family holiday image, but the gourmet's choice in this resort is irresistible fresh seafood including clams, mussels, oysters, crab and lobster. The city has more than 22,000 restaurant seats, most of them al fresco with views of the Bay, and that is without the take-away and delivery joints, many of the restaurants touting 'all you can eat' banquets, and dinner cruises.Besides delicious seafood visitors can take their pick of a gamut of international flavours like Chinese, French, Italian and Mexican. Recommendations include Smoker's BBQ Pit for ribs and chicken, On the Bay Seafood for Maryland crabs, and the the award-winning Fager's Island Restaurant with its spacious outdoor decks.
