Since 1982 Waterman’s has been serving up Eastern Shore Tradition.

In the years since the opening, when we were only a carry out, the restaurant has expanded. Waterman’s offers a carryout and fresh seafood market, a downstairs dining room and bar area as well as an upstairs dining room and a sports bar. With renovations occurring in 2006 Waterman’s is now ready for many more  years of great Ocean City memories.

The sports and raw bar, has high definition flat screen TV’s to watch any game as well as a fully stocked bar and Happy Hour food and drink  specials.

Waterman’s carryout not only offers fresh seafood but salads, produce, an assortment of unique eastern shore cooking seasonings and nearly the entire menu to go. We also have catering options available for small to large events.

In 2008 Waterman’s opened its wholesale division in Crocheron, Maryland on the Fishing Bay a tributary of the Chesapeake Bay.  Waterman’s will begin one of the first privately operated oyster aquaculture facilities in the State of Maryland.  This will help preserve the Chesapeake Bay area wildlife and guarantee the tradition of fresh seafood harvesting in the area for our future generations.  Waterman’s buys from about 20-30 local waterman in the area to get the freshest seafood.  The seafood is then taken directly to our restaurant to provide the highest quality seafood at the most reasonable prices in the Ocean City area.

Went for my birthday lunch, it was our first visit here. Won't be our last! The lunch specials were amazing, and it's been a long time since I've seen lobster with shrimp for under $30! Our waitress was so sweet. She took great care of us and seemed genuinely happy. Good sweet tea, and great calamari! Loved the lemon aioli.

Waterman’s Seafood in Ocean City was a solid experience. The crabs were fresh and full of flavor, and the fish and chips were actually really good. The service was a bit slow, but it was during a busy time so it was understandable. Overall, good food and worth checking out if you’re in the area.

Had to write a review asap because this food is FANTASTIC. I got the shrimp & scallop risotto and THAT is the dish to get! It was so creamy and delicious! Arguably the best one I ever had. We also enjoyed the crab, they were so juicy!
Would 100000% recommend this place and will def come back for the risotto!!
