Crabby Dick's Rehoboth Beach

Don't you just love the name? We sure did and that's why we ended up at this Hwy 1 roadside restaurant with tons of other Delaware beach goers. Crabby Dick's specializes in fresh seafood available from the nearby Atlantic. They boast about their "world famous balls" and don't even inform their patrons of what these balls consist of in their menus. Out of curiousity, we ordered the balls and they turned out to be fried crab balls that were, in fact, very tasty. There was a lot of crab and not much filler, just the way I like it. For our entrees, I had the fish and chips and my friend ordered the crabcake sandwich. The piece of fish in my fish and chips was huge and the frying was done incredibly well - it was a solid beer batter shell protecting the fresh white fish. As I like to say, frying is an art, getting it at the right tempature while cooking completely through and not destroying the food, and they did a great job. The "chips" or fries were alright, but nothing to talk about. We ended our meal with the turtle cheesecake, which was a bit too sweet and chocolate-y. I think the meal deteriorated as we went on because it became overly filling and heavy. But overall, not bad at all and we got a couple great pictures to document our Crabby Dick's experience.
