Taste Local. Support Maryland.
Choosing Maryland seafood does more than make a great meal. It supports the watermen, aquaculture producers, processors, seafood markets, restaurants and other businesses that are part of Maryland’s working waterfronts and local economy.
Maryland seafood is also part of a tradition that has connected our communities and tables for generations. This National Seafood Month, celebrate the people behind that tradition by asking for Maryland seafood when you shop or dine out.
