Rockfish

This type of fish may be called “striped bass” in most area of the U.S., but it will always be called rockfish in Maryland. It is the state’s most important commercial and recreational fish species and has been the official state fish of Maryland since 1965. Rockfish is white and flaky with a delicious mild flavor and can be prepared in several different ways. At Box Hill, we have a few options of rockfish on the menu, including Fresh Wild Caught Beer Battered Rockfish Strips- yum!

Soft Shell Crabs

Soft shell crabs are not available all the time, so when they become available, Marylanders know to take advantage of the opportunity! The soft shell crab season runs from about May to September, as this is the time that crabs molt their hard shell. During the molting process, a hard-shelled crab will shed its exterior layer to create a new, larger shell. It takes a few days for the new shell to arrive, and the crab is left soft and vulnerable. This is when fishermen look for soft-shell crabs to bring to us to serve to customers during the summer! Be sure to follow us on Facebook for updates on when our soft shell crabs will be available at the restaurant.

Maryland Crab Soup

Maryland crab soup is a warm and comforting meal that can be enjoyed at any time of year. In a traditional Maryland crab soup, you will find a tangy tomato base full of carrots, corn, green beans, peas, and more, and of course, lots of tender crabmeat.

Crab Cakes

Last but not least, we have the most popular seafood dish in Maryland- the almighty crab cake. The best varieties of crab cakes in the state include giant lumps of fresh meat with little filler and are either broiled, baked, grilled, or fried.
