Annapolis is known as a seafood hub on the East Coast, famous for its crabs and oysters. But how many people truly know where their seafood comes from and how it is caught? For generations, Annapolis has been at the heart of the Chesapeake Bay’s seafood industry, sustained by the hardworking watermen who have navigated its waters. Ride along to explore the rich history of seafood and the watermen of Annapolis, their traditions, challenges, and the evolving relationship between sustainability and the seafood industry.
