"I have found my new favorite seafood place, and it was 5 minutes away the whole time!! Moved nearby two years ago and never noticed the building! Tucked in next to Taco Bell and Hobby Lobby, St Mary 's Seafood and More is a real treasure. I 'm so used to generic seafood and deep overfried everything, I had lost a lot of faith in seafood places since I left New England years ago. I have been shown the light again! : Its not hard to access once you learn the pattern. The atmosphere is very hometown restaurant kind of feel with a bright disposition, and good touches of decor to keep it feeling warm. The staff were all very friendly with our server (in photo! being and absolute gem with courtesy and attentiveness. Now, down to the food. Hush puppies were hot, fresh, and done right. The clam chowder had that wonderful homemade texture and taste with the spice pallet just right. Very nice. My wife and I split the platter for one, and let me tell you, that was a LOT of food for one. Clams, oysters, scallops, deviled crab, shrimp, and fish. The scallops and fish were blackened at the recommendation of our server and boy was she spot on. Great. Scallops were perfect and not overdone. Deviled crab in the shell was a real treat for a Chesapeake Bay boy like myself. Very nice. The oysters and clams were breaded, but VERY thin to provide a wonderful coating without hiding the wonderful seafood inside. Heck, even the sweet tea was done right. My new fav seafood restaurant is under five minutes from my house. I 'm a happy boy. We were there a bit earlier, before 5pm. They were setting up for some live music and the atmosphere was growing but in a very friendly kind of way. Thank you St Mary 's Seafood More for a great meal and a new spot to frequent. :"
