Heading off on a mini summer break! ☀️

We’ll be closed from Monday the 10th through Friday the 14th. That means no fresh seafood, no delicious prepared meals, and yes—Son of a Fish Sushi and On Toast will be taking the week off too!

Don't panic! You still have time to prepare. Pop in this weekend before Monday to load up your fridge and freezer with all your favorites so you don't go hungry while we're away.

We’ll be rested, recharged, and back open ready to feed you on Saturday the 15th

The Role of Aquaculture : Supporting our Oceans

We’re excited to have scallops in the case this weekend!

They aren't just incredible to eat—they are a perfect example of how thoughtful aquaculture can support the health of our oceans.

By farming species like scallops, we take some of the pressure off wild-caught populations, allowing those natural stocks time to recover and thrive.

Aquaculture, when done responsibly, acts as a bridge between high demand and environmental stewardship. It provides a reliable, high-quality supply of protein while promoting healthier marine ecosystems and supporting the longevity of the wild fisheries we love.

Come by the shop this weekend, grab some of these beauties, and enjoy a meal that supports a more sustainable future for our oceans!

Meet Iris! 👋🐟 She’s been an integral part of our team for 9 amazing years, and today she’s showing off a spectacular catch.

​This beautiful yellowfin tuna was caught 90 miles off the coast of Ocean City, MD, by Capt. Brandon Harrington aboard the F/V Avery Branch.

It’s only at this time of year that we get to see such incredible, local tuna brought right to our door.

​We are open until 4:00 PM today (July 4th)

Come on down, say hi to Iris, and grab the ultimate local catch for your holiday grill. 🇺🇸✨

​Happy 4th of July everyone! 🎉

🎣 Want to win a FREE fishing trip? Let’s clean up the Bay!

Maryland DNR is giving away an epic chance to hit the water, but there’s a massive reason behind this promotion: our beloved Chesapeake Bay is under siege.

Wild blue catfish are aggressive, invasive apex predators. They are breeding at an alarming rate and eating everything in sight—completely wiping out the native baby rockfish, blue crabs, and white perch that make our ecosystem thrive and our local seafood so iconic.

By jumping in on the Reel in the Blues Bonanza, you're helping us get these gluttons out of our waters to give our local species a fighting chance.

🎟️ The Prize: 100 free blue catfish charter trips (valued up to $1,500 each!) sponsored by MS DNR.

📲 How to enter: Click the link in our bio to sign up!
Let’s get out there, reel 'em in, and protect the Bay we love! 🌊🐟

My absolute go-to breakfast at least a couple of days a week 🤌 Standard toast just doesn't cut it anymore. Testing out the Sardines with Hot Pepper from today and it hits the spot perfectly.

What’s your ultimate tinned fish pairing? 👇
