Delawareans grow up eating seafood fresh off of the boat, locally raised chickens, and vegetables right from the garden. Why is it, then, that we’ve got such strange food tastes? These iconic Delaware dishes are favorites throughout the state, but to outsiders, they may seem just a little bit strange. When was the last time you ate something on the below list?

What’s your favorite iconic Delaware food? Personally… I’ll skip the strange stuff and stick to our best Boardwalk foods. Particularly when it’s the middle of Winter…I’m really missing out on Thrasher’s fries, Gus and Gus fried chicken, and the other Boardwalk staples.
