About Us

Five Generations

Harris Crab House opened its doors in 1981, situated on the Kent Narrows Waterway, four miles east of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge. For five generations, Harris Crab House has remained a family business and has been a fixture in the seafood business on the Shore.

An Eastern Shore Tradition

Along with the years, comes a wealth of history to be told about the Chesapeake Bay region. Our restaurant is nestled in an area where local watermen are still a prevalent feature, bringing in their “catch,” docking their boats, and spinning their tales.

We are proud to employ and serve what we we feel is the very best of Eastern Shore traditions and history. We buy our seafood from approximately 350 local watermen and employ approximately 140 people from our community.
