Onancock Eats! Mallards at The Wharf, Onancock, Virginia, Restaurant, The Musical Chef, Onancock Bay Challenge, Saturday, September 20, 2014, Virginia’s Eastern Shore
Cindi and I stopped for a quick visit to Onancock, Virginia. This is one of the largest towns on Virginia’s remote Eastern Shore. I don’t know why they say remote….from the Delaware Beaches it was about 2 1/2 hours.
Anyway, we went straight to the marina to Mallards at the Wharf, located at 2 Market St. in Onancock.Tel. 757-787-8558. The restaurant is in The Hopkins Bros Building, circa 1842. It is owned and maintained by Virginia’s Eastern Shore Historical Society…http://www.shorehistory.org.
Do you see the guitar hanging on the wall? Well, this restaurant is also owned by Chef Johnny Mo, who is the Executive Chef, along with Miguel Wiese, Chef de Cuisine. We arrived late afternoon. The restaurant was quiet. But, he is known to entertain its guests frequently. Check the menu and events at The Mallards by visiting http://www.mallardsllc.com.
You can find Chef Johnny Mo on Facebook, as well. This chef is also the Founder of the benefit Music for The Hungry, whose proceeds go directly to the Foodbank of the Eastern Shore. More info., please visit http://www.chefjohnnymo.com.
Being that the location is the Eastern Shore you can imagine all the fresh seafood on the menu.
Cindi and I decided on the Fish Tacos. Fresh mahi-mahi grilled, not fried, with lime juiuce over shredded lettuce, salsa, and spicy mayo, served on a flour tortilla…truly delicious. One of the best!!
Event: The 24th Onancock Bay Challenge will be on Saturday, September 20th. Rain day….Sunday, 9/21. A special prize and trophy will be awarded for the largest “Eastern Shore Brown Trout” (Oyster Toad) brought to the dock. For more information, please call 757-709-8697, 757-787-4237 from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m.
So as you travel Lankford Highway (Rt. 13) up and down….this is a great place to stop and refuel.
Talk to you later.
