My best friend's family lived in Ocean View, DE; about 15 miles north of OC and we did lots of traveling to there. There are many, many great restaurants there, in Dewey Beach, Bethany Beach and Rehobeth Beach. Ask a local to recommend some places to you.
In Dewey Beach, we went to the Rusty Rudder many times and you would either get a great meal or it was horrible, no middle ground.
In Bethany Beach, we liked The Blue Crab, which was a buffet. It was usually pretty good, located in a strip mall.
Harpoon Hannah's was also a regular in our restaurant choices. It's located right on the border of OC and Fenwick, on the bay. Outside dining was really nice with the boats coming in/out.
Phillip's Seafood is all over the area and they do a great crab, but it can be a bit pricey.
Thrasher's Fries is a must-have, but don't under any circumstances ask for ketchup. They will take the fries away from you!!! Eat them hot with a little or a lot of the malt vinegar and lots of salt. YUMMY, my mouth is watering like crazy just typing this. There are several Thrasher's located on the boardwalk in OC, RB and up and down the DELMARVA peninsula.
