The Fairport (not fairhope) marina/resturant in Reedville MD is neither gourmet nor expensive and we love go there to peel a few crabs. Perhaps Bella is confusing that facility with the Crazy Crab, a nearby marina/restaurant with pretensions that fits her description.
There is a seafood deli a short dinghy ride from where we are anchored off the Crazy Crab and we once walked to a small "Mom and Pop" grocery about a mile from the deli. Fresh fish are available when the fish pound boat comes in nearby early in the morning. Ron, we passed an outbound menhaden boat on the way in to Reedville yesterday and the plant is definitely not shut down as evidenced by the scent when we were downwind of it and the white vapors rising from their stack. We did smell the plant on the way in and once, years ago, we got a wiff of the plant while anchored. It smelled like a fish processing plant, but certianly not "vile" to us. We enjoy Reedville for it's beautiful homes and waterfront. We will visit its museum, cruise around in the dink and consume some crabs at the Fairport marina/resturant today.
