· A new crab restaurant has arrived on Kent Island. After great success selling their crabcakes, crab dip, and other recipes at local Maryland farmers markets, John and Christina Payne recently opened Shells Yes! Crab Cake Company in the first floor of the Chester River Inn. The crab shack will focus on Eastern Shore and Maryland cuisine, including Crab Imperial and Chicken Chesapeake, using 100 percent Maryland crab meat. The concept as a whole is farm-to-table with no frozen food, says John, who was trained at the Culinary Institute of America. Visit Shells Yes! at the Annapolis FRESHFARM market or at Shellsyes.com.
