Harrison's Harbor Watch is located on the southern end of the boardwalk in Ocean City, Maryland. Overlooking the Inlet and Assateague Island, we sat in the upstairs dining room and enjoyed some of the best views in Ocean City. The restaurant prides itself on purchasing the highest quality of hand tonged oysters from local waters. Clams are sustainably harvested from Virginia waters and the Maryland side of the Assateague Channel. In season, fish such as Flounder, Mahi Mahi, Swordfish and Tuna are pulled straight off the boats that dock at the Commercial Harbor in West Ocean City and served fresh the same day.
We also shared the Clams Casino - five Virginia top necks topped with garlic casino butter, bacon, and provolone. They are made standard without breadcrumbs to make them gluten free.
For his main entree, Keith ordered the Grilled Swordfish topped with Crab Imperial served with asparagus and steamed red potatoes. The fish itself was fresh and meaty. It had great flavor. The only annoying part was having to pay $3 extra just for the asparagus today.
I enjoyed the Famous Jumbo Shrimp Pasta made with a half-pound of jumbo shrimp and penne pasta tossed in a tomato basil lobster cream sauce. It was a bit bland - nothing a little salt and pepper couldn't fix - and a large portion. The shrimp were perfectly cooked and tasty.
Overall, this casual restaurant seems great for families and large groups. If you are looking for a nicer sit down restaurant on the Board Walk with many options to please all, then check out Harrison's.
