Prime Meats

We specialize in the finest cuts of prime meat that are available. We source our meat from Maryland to New Zealand. Whether it's our in-house Dry-aged, Wagyu, Prime or Choice cuts of meat, we take pride in providing a high-quality product. It is a fact that you will taste the difference between our meat and the meat available in your local grocery.

Would you like a two-inch cut on your steak or pork chops or just a special cut for the barbecue or event? Our Butchers cut every piece of meat and are happy to cut to order.

Our chickens and turkeys are all natural and the finest poultry you can find. We are known for our roasted chickens that we cook fresh every day. Our sausage is in-house made and frankly delicious and our ground beef is made from prime pieces of meat. So hands down, it will make the best burger you have ever served.

About Us

Family Owned – Freshest Seafood – Prime Meat

Chesapeake Seafood has been a part of the Eastern Shore for more than 50 years. Ed Higgins was an eastern shore native who grew up in a family of working watermen on the Miles, Wye, and Choptank rivers. 

In the early 1960’s Ed traded in the watermen’s life and began an oyster and soft-shell clam shucking house. It didn’t take long for Mr. Higgins to expand beyond the shucking house to the restaurant, catering, and seafood market businesses in both St. Michaels and Ocean City. The business expanded to buying and selling seafood up and down the east coast including New York City and Boston.

Today the business, run by Glenn, his wife Linda, and son Adam operates a Seafood Market, Prime Meats butcher shop, and a robust catering business. Complete surf and turf offerings from crabs, shrimp, and oysters to ribeye, tenderloins, roast chickens, and dry-aged meat are readily available along with a large selection of spices, sauces, and grab-in-go offerings.

Glenn is an avid fisherman and expert in cleaning and preparing all types of seafood.  You can expect the seafood side of the market to carry a wide variety of fresh seafood such as rockfish, clams, scallops, shrimp, oysters, salmon, tuna, and of course eastern blue crabs.
