Celebrate Maryland seafood at local eateries.

While many people think about Maryland blue crabs as summer cuisine, October is a great month for seafood.

According to the Department of Natural Resources, a variety of seafood is available this month, including striped bass, crabmeat, oysters, flounder, dogfish, lobster and scallops.

From the Bay for the Bay, a promotion to support local watermen while also contributing to oyster restoration efforts, kicked off last weekend and runs through Oct. 9.
