A hidden gem in Newark near the University of Delaware campus. For over 25 years, Blue Crab Grill has served fresh seafood in a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The crab cakes are almost pure meat with no filler, and their Smith Island Cake brings a taste of the Chesapeake to northern Delaware. Not on the water, but the food doesn't care.
