Fisher’s Popcorn, Rehoboth Beach, Popcorn, Review, Delaware Beaches
Popcorn – It is a type of corn which explodes from the kernel and puffs when heated. It was originally discovered by Native Americans. It became popular as a snack in the U.S. during the Great Depression.
The corn pops because the kernels have a hard moisture-sealed hull and a dense starchy filling. This allows the pressure to build inside the kernel until it pops.
This is one of those posts that is so easy to talk about. The subject? Popcorn!! Not just any popcorn but Fisher’s. I have sent this popcorn to many places; California, Florida, Colorado, Maryland, New York and Puerto Rico.
On Saturday I decided to walk around downtown Rehoboth Beach before all the parking spaces were taken. I saw a familiar face at Fisher’s so we started talking. I asked Corey if I could take some pictures and he graciously agreed.
Fisher’s Popcorn has been a family business for over 70 years, all the way from Ocean City, Maryland to Rehoboth Beach. The location I am blogging about is the one right on Rehoboth Avenue.
The address is 44 Rehoboth Avenue, Rehoboth Beach, DE 19971. Tel. 302-227-2691. Website is www.fishers-popcorn.com.
Fisher’s Popcorn arrived in Rehoboth about 4 years ago. They did not need any introduction since anyone that has visited the Maryland and Delaware beaches has eaten Fisher’s and taken some to friends and family back home.
Fisher’s makes its popcorn in-house and you can actually see them mixing the caramel corn in a big kettle by hand. When it is ready then it is dumped in the store front display and if you are passing by there is no way you are going to keep on going. Warm but crispy, sweet but not overly so, nice edible chunks…the best. I kid you not!!
Fisher’s flavors are: caramel, white cheddar, caramel with peanuts and buttered. The all time favorite is the caramel.
Even though I stepped inside Fisher’s I will have to tell you that you will not see a recipe anywhere. It is a family well kept secret.
A big part of Fisher’s is their mail order. They do so year-round. They are also able to send their popcorn to the military. They have all sizes ans styles of containers, so please check their website.
So, next time you are in Rehoboth Beach, Bethany Beach, Fenwick Island or Ocean City, Maryland, please stopy by because you will not believe how good it is!!
Note: The caramel popcorn at Fisher’s is gluten free.
A tip: If you want to eat it warm, just put some of the caramel popcorn in the microwave for not even a minute and it will taste as if you had just bought it.
Talk to you later….again, from Boulder, Colorado for a few days….

Have a Good Day….

Best Microwavable Popcon
Love fishers pop corn,can`t wait to go to oc every year and get my first bite of the year.I have even ordered it after I come home(didn`t bring enough back
love it
To the person that said that it was the best microwable popcorn. I do agree. Just a few seconds you get that same taste as when bought. To Dana: You can order it through their website. It arrives very fresh. Thanks for the comments.
On Sunday November 6th I purchased your popcorn. I gave your employee a $20.00 bill. My change was $5.00 short. I do not believe this was a mistake because the change was folded when received. I believe the employee knew I would not be able to check my change because my hands were full. I should have known better because no one folds money returned.
I am a local and plan to stop by on Sunday to see a manager regarding this issue. No one should try to take advantage of a customer, and a senior at that!! Management should follow-up on this activity/issue immediately!!!!
I am so sorry. This is a very reputable company and I am sure that you will be taken care of. Please talk to Corey Hall in Rehoboth Beach. Thanks.
