Open since 1945 on Georgia Avenue, Crisfield is a master class in no-frills Mid Atlantic dishes like seafood bisque, broiled fish platters and crab cakes with no filler. The interior of the restaurant hasn’t changed much over the years, but the neighborhood around it has, making a visit feel like stepping back in time, where this style of dining was the norm for the area. It’s a perfect destination for a platter of fried seafood with juicy, lightly battered shrimp, scallops and perch.
