Now that it's summertime, Delawareans are dropping their boats in the water and getting ready for their days on the water. While it's a blast to fish, sail, and boat out on Delaware's bays, the best part of a day on the boat is feasting afterwards. While plenty of us set crab traps and have our own beachfront dinners, there are going to be days when the crabs aren't falling for it. On those days, you'll want to head to one of these delicious dockside restaurants in Delaware.
