A Local's Guide to the best of Rehoboth and Lewes Delaware

My favorite seafood restaurants

The Big Fish (mama mia! Huge portions all kinds of great fish, great sides, friendly fast kitchen and staff) All that being said, good luck ever getting a table in the summer.
Stryper Bites (my favorite for crab cakes, don't go on Tuesday, I think that's the day the real chef has off)
Jakes - if you like Alaskan Crab legs, you can find them here. They have a big selection and on days when you can't get anywhere near the Big Fish (most of the summer) this is a good alternative.
The Kent Narrows Restaurant - okay, okay, nowhere near rehoboth but actually the best Cream of Crab Soup I have EVER tasted and several people I know only remotely have backed me up on this. You can even get it to go in a quart container. Ask for extra sherry if you order atthe restaurant.
Lazy Susan's - for steamed crabs by the dozen. Yummmmm.... I haven't been since they moved to a more upscale location accross the highway but I'm sure their crabs are still the best around.
Fins - great fish, mix and match - choose your fish, your cooking style and your sauce from a long list. Usually crowded but they DO take resrvations

My favorite all-types of food restaurants

The Pig and Fish - Rehoboth Avenue. Chip is the nicest bartender ever.

Dogfish Head - Ummm..
with names like Beewolf Braggot, Arctic Cloudberry Imperial Wheat or Midas Touch, who can resist their crafty beers?

Sushi

The Cultured Pearl - They take reservations too. Anyplace that takes reservations in the summer automatically gets extra stars from me but this place is primo all year round. They have outdoor rooftop tables with koi fish swimming under your feet. The foot is somewhat pricey but good and they have a great selection of hot and chilled sake!

Reasons to move here

1) Property Taxes

2) Nearby beaches and outlets will cause your children and grandchildre to visit more often. That might not actually be a selling point.

3) Great seafood restaurants (on the other hand there's not even one Indian Restaurant, you might get sick of seafood eventually).

4) Cape Henlopen State Park - great biking and hiking trails circle the park. Oh yeah, and it has pristine beaches.

5) The boardwalk - best junk food ever.

6) Funland - cheapest way ever to entertain your friend's rugrats.

Business Services

Real Estate - the best realtor in Lewes, Rehoboth, Milton or even Sussex County.... I may be biased, but my parents and I have always loved Lee Ann for her sassy savvy style. This lady lives and breathes real estate...

Pet Groomers - The Dirty Dog in Rehoboth - all women - the only place I can take my neurotic dogs. They don't seem to have a website!

Dog Kennels - I have used these two and they are both very good as far as kennels go. I mean no one came back with fleas or seemed too traumatized but how can you tell really?
