Off The Hook is their first restaurant in Bethany Beach located at 769 Garfield Pkwy. It is about a mile or so west of Bethany. It is very popular. No reservations. 302-829-1424. It has a nice bar and you can eat there too. Let’s see what else? It is one that I frequent with my girlfriends from Ocean City. We can drive half way. Plus, I have never had a bad meal there.
Off The Hook opens at 11:30. Lunch menu, bar menu, dinner menu and cocktail and wine menu. 😃
Specials almost every day. Please have in mind that specials are dine in only. Half priced entrees start at 3 p.m. until closing, available Monday through Thursday. Pretty good deal.
I think you have all the info. So let me tell you what we had. First we got there at 6 and we did have to wait. That’s a popular hour. Maybe a little later may be best.
Drinks and conversation…catching up, right? I got a Prosecco Rose.
In a mood for Salmon I went with their Roasted Salmon. It had drunken cherries, spinach, parsnip whip, cherry gastrique and crispy parsnip.
I almost forgot. Please try the bread. It was delicious 👏👏
Look at this other dish. Cioppino. This is actually an Italian/American dish that originated in San Francisco. A fish stew. Shrimp, scallops, mussels, fin fish, sweet sausage, a beautiful and savory tomato broth. Topped with a crostini. Perfect.
Guess what? That was our meal.
I hope you have a gorgeous weekend. The beach towns are crowded.
Matt’s Fish Camp in Lewes located at 34401 Tenley Ct. served a great lunch on a rainy day. Weather gets cold we go for comfort food.
Check this out ?
They usually have Deviled Eggs on the menu but on this day they raised the bar up a notch. These ones had this morsel of well seasoned chicken on top. If you see them, please get them. I saw these two ladies having them with a Rose and it looked so sophisticated. Yes indeed?
Another best find was the Sticky Icky Wings. We ordered them well done.You don’t want where the skin is not crispy. Off the chart. The trick…Well Done; Crispy.
Matt’s Fish Camp is very generous with the food they offer. A lot can be shared, or take the leftovers.
The Chicken Pot Pie looked delicious. Basically, a traditional homemade pot pie filling with a Cheddar Biscuit. Just imagine, a rainy Saturday called for this yummy dish.
A Lobster Cobb Salad with Green Goddess Dressing??
Buttermilk Fried Chicken and Gravy, pretty much always on the menu. Large enough to share. There was a beautiful biscuit and someone ordered mashed potatoes, as well.
I forgot to take a photo of my Cobb Salad but I can tell you it was very good.
We enjoyed our outing celebrating Sophia’s participation in the Mary Poppins play at Cape Henlopen High School. ❤️
Finally the sun has come out. Have a great day.?

Hello Monday Morning. Not the blues but a beautiful day in Southern Delaware. I remember when we all used to think that going out to dinner was only on weekends. Okay, it is true to some extent but if you have the opportunity to eat out any day of the week, please do so. Our beach restaurants are full of specials and Happy Hours. A good way to try some of those popular restaurants that are so crowded once the Season gets underway.
Our destination on Monday was Northeast Seafood Kitchen located at 29 Atlantic Ave. in Ocean View, DE. It is just a couple of miles west of Bethany Beach. Reservations are accepted. They have a kid’s menu. Opens at 4.
On Mondays they have a $19 Fish Board. Amazing, right? Your choice of fish and selection of cooking preparation.
Two of us decided to have the same thing: The Monkfish. This fish has a firm flesh, it is lean, and when cooked it is bright white. They say it is the Poor Man’s Lobster but that’s for you to decide. Ours was delicious ???
Mahi was also ordered and look how good it looked. Perfectly cooked.?
No dessert. Perfectly satisfied. Nice evening enjoying the company of friends.
For anyone with dietary restrictions, they do offer a variety of ways to accommodate you.
Until next time. AboutMyBeaches is on Facebook and Instagram. Check it out.
Remember that Good Food is the Foundation of Genuine Happiness ?

“I don’t know but I am getting excited about the Shrimp Toast”, my friend B said? Let’s have it.
And here is a close up. So glad we ordered them. As you can see this appetizer was perfect for sharing. It was very good.
From the Dim Sum our next choice became our favorite. Our server said it is a favorite of customers, as well.Dim Sum are “small dishes; steamed, baked, or fried”. Each dish contains about 3 to 4 pieces. Ours had 6. Another shareable dish.
This was called Soup Dumpling.
The soup is inside. You can take the spoon, pick it up, dip in the broth an then whole into your mouth. Or you can take a bite an it will not run down your chin. It is a little thicker. It is the most delicious and not to be missed.
Bodhi Kitchen is located at 10 N 1st St., in Downtown Rehoboth Beach. Reservations would be best. There is brunch on Sunday from 11-2. Dinner 5-9. Monday through Thursday 5-9. Friday and Saturday 5-10. Happy Hour every day 5-6.
My Braised Cumin Lamb Ho Fun was delicious. soy braised shoulder, wheat noodles, chili oil, Chinese spinach, peanuts and bok choy. All the entrees are perfect for sharing. Generous portions.
A stir fried noodle dish. It is also part of the country cuisine of Thailand. The Pad Thai with our choice of shrimp at Bodhi I could certainly have again. Rice noodles, tamarind, peanuts, bird’s eye chili, bean sprouts, cilantro and lime. Those little red peppers are spicy.
Our reservation was early but it took no time to get the restaurant to get filled up.
I am glad we have more choices in Rehoboth Beach because……..

Pleasantly surprised we were by Sirocco located inside the new Coast Rehoboth Beach. The restaurant has clean lines, a nice bar, good lighting and a friendly staff.
The cuisine is Mediterranean. We arrived right at 6 and while the photo above showed it quiet, well that did not last long. Within half hour all tables were taken.
And what a surprise. Last Wednesday it was buy one entree and get the other free.
I love a whole fish. The flavor is amazing when it is cooked whole. My choice was the whole Branzino. It was roasted, grilled lemon, capers, fresh rosemary and thyme. Those tomatoes on the side were roasted and had an incredible flavor.
The next dish was outstanding as well. The Grilled Lamb Chops. Cooked to perfection. Served with a warm couscous salad, grilled artichokes and roasted eggplant with a mint gremolata. You have to have mint with lamb right? ?
Everything was so good with both entrees. Cannot complain.
We did not have dessert but the were definitely tempting. They had Pistachio Baklava, Canoli Trio and Limoncello Zabaione and Ice Cream.
Sirocco opens Wednesday through Sunday. Every day Happy Hour from 5-7.
For Thanksgiving they are offering a Prix Fixe dinner. 2-5 p.m.
Follow them on Social Media. AboutMyBeaches is on Facebook and Instagram.
I know when I leave a restaurant and my thoughts are “can’t wait to come back” it is because I really enjoyed it.
If they continue serving this delicious food and good service Sirocco will definitely be a great addition to Rehoboth Beach. ???

Blue Moon is one of those iconic places in Rehoboth Beach that checks all the boxes. Great food, love the atmosphere, excellent service, entertainment that you would want to come for more.
Love The Atrium, Bar and high tops. Two piano players this summer. I love them both. The customers get right into the whole show. More so if you can carry a tune.
Location? 35 Baltimore Avenue.
I order the Tuna Carpaccio all the time.
Next? Mozzarella Burrata…Grilled Mango. How good is that?
Not only did we order Roasted Oysters. We order two of them?
You may not think you would order the Chicken Pot Pie. Think again. It is awesome?? You need to try it.
Very tasty Short Rib Stroganoff. Another good choice.
Stuffed Shrimp, big, perfectly cooked and crabmeat to boot!
Now the “piece of resistance”. Should we do it? Of course we did. The Moon Pie Bomb. I may have felt guilty but not really.
Our Server Juan Perez deserves a big shout❤️
Wishing the best weekend. AboutMyBeaches is on Facebook and Instagram.

Wow, two visits to The Federal in 2 weeks. That good. It opened in Downtown Rehoboth Beach a few years ago as Federal Fritter. I have to agree that calling it just The Federal is so much better.
We tried the Crispy Virginia Oyster Fritters and we chose the Lemon Horseradish Aioli for dipping. They were crispy and light.
Going back and forth….what should we have?
A choice of the Softshells as a main course. They did have them as a starter, as well.
I am so glad the House Made Ricotta Gnocchi is kept on the menu. It is delicious. This dish has MD Blue Crab (the best), gulf shrimp, New Bedford scallops, sugar snap peas, pesto cream sauce.
The scallops is another dish that is excellent. Served with sauteed sweet corn, local peaches, and pickled banana peppers.
I decided to go with two starters for my dinner. Brought at the same time.
Chilled Delmarva Sweet Corn Soup with poached gulf shrimp, pickled watermelon, and roasted corn.
Then the Starter offering of the Softshells.
Fresh fruit during the summer…..Yummy tarts with homemade ice cream.
I have to give a shout to Lauren. She was so friendly and knew the menu well.
Summer 2023 as we know it is coming to an end but the next season is my favorite in Southern Delaware.

It happened to be a hot and beautiful summer day. Walking around Rittenhouse Square on Sunday was quiet. There were plenty of people sitting out, enjoying the end of the weekend.
Dinner would be at Townsend EPX, located at 1623 E Passyunk Ave., Philadelphia. 267-534-4175.:
Chef Townsend Wentz has achieved many accolades. This is his French restaurant but he also has an Italian one and a Spanish one. All highly acclaimed. Click on the link to know more.
Philadelphia is known for its food and plenty of restaurants to satisfy discerning palates.
Townsend is intimate. Not too many tables, perfect for conversation.
As you come in there is a bar and a couple of tables at the bar. The main dining room is down a bit.
You may order A la Carte or from their Tasting Menu. Regarding the Tasting Menu the whole table will need to participate.
A la Carte for us please. We started with a Seared Foie Gras. A strawberry compote using a 30 year Balsamic on grilled sourdough. Just looking at this photo now a month later is making my mouth water.
When I see grilled octopus on a menu I usually order it. Over the years I have found some particularly tasty ones and this one did not disappoint. Had a tomato salad, herb Creme Fraiche, squid ink tuile and sauce daube. A tuile is a traditional French water biscuit. You see it on the photo, dark and lace like. A daube sauce is a stew sauce.
The roasted duck had potato pave, shiitake mushrooms, English peas, and a sauce au poivre. A potato pave is a more refined version of scallop potatoes. Devine it was??
A fan of the Mediterranean Branzino. Always so good wether served whole or fillet. At Townsend it was grilled served over a basil couscous salad, preserved lemon aioli and a pomegranate reduction. Simple and great tasting flavor.
A Creme Brûlée that was very well received. Orange supremes and raspberry jam.
Trying for the first time a Pavlova. This dessert was named after the famous Russian ballerina Anna Pavlova. It is like a meringue cake made of whipped egg whites and sugar. Light and crisp on the outside and a little chewy. The middle like an airy marshmallow. Their version was beautifully presented.
The next time in Philly I hope you get to try it. You will not be disappointed.
