Awkwardly named, yes. Hard to find—it’s true. But we came for the seafood, and here we were impressed. The “famous” clam chowder deserves its acclaim—it’s some of the best we’ve tasted. The Maryland crab dishes, straight from the Chesapeake, are delectable. The place is named for its oysters, and they’re also tasty (and especially slippery). Our servers were friendly and astoundingly knowledgeable about the menu. (Ask about the chowder, and you’ll get a rapid-fire ingredient recitation.) Youell’s has a nautical elegance to its dining room, and it should: The prices here, though fair, will stretch the college budget. Parents weekend? (Open M-Th 4p-9p; F-Sa 4p-10p.)

The Stoned Crab is the perfect place for any seafood lover – with a little extra money to burn or parents in town.  Although pricy, the Stoned Crab has a great menu of appetizers, salads, and entrees (almost all include seafood), not to mention a full service bar.  If you're not in the mood for clams or oysters, try the filet mignon or their delicious Portobello fries as an appetizer.  (Open Su-Tu 11:30a-9p; W 11:30a-10p; Th 11:30-11p; F 11:30-1a; Sa 4p-1a.)

Don’t worry, the tasty food at the Starfish Brassiere more than makes up for its less-than-tasty décor (bright neon sign, starfish window decals, fish statues…you see what we mean).  On Sundays, the chef prepares a three course meal for $27.50.  On other days of the week, order from the eclectic menu a la carte.  Not surprisingly, the restaurant offers plenty of seafood options to choose from (tuna, salmon, Sea bass, even Australian Barramundi) – all priced around $23.  (Open M-Th 11:30a-2:30p, 5p-9:30p; F 11:30a-2:30p, 5p-10p; Sa 5p-10p; Su 5p-8p.)

Though billed as "Fine Dining," a trip to Henry's is similar to voyaging to a tavern on the lower deck of a boat.  Complete with ship lanterns, portraits of captains and cork wreaths, Henry’s nautical atmosphere not-so-subtly hints at their specialty: seafood.  The menu features scallops, shrimp, flounder, crab and lobster.  Land-lovers are not forgotten, and can pick between steak and chicken dishes.  (If nothing strikes your fancy, they'll fix up a special request if they have all the ingredients.)  All entrees come with a trip to the salad bar, a potato dish and vegetables.  While it sounds like a tremendous amount of food, moderately sized portions allow you to save room for their creamy peanut butter pie. So if your in the mood for the taste of the ocean, take a short trip over to Henry’s, where you’ll be sure to find what your looking for. (Open M-Th 4:30p-9p; F-Sa 4:30p-10p.)
