The Scenic Seafood Restaurant In Delaware That Overlooks The Canal

Editor's note: This restaurant is permanently closed. 

Delaware is known for being one of the seafood capitals of America, though it doesn't get the credit that neighboring Maryland seems to enjoy. If you live here, though, you know that the First State is one of the best places to enjoy a waterfront meal, and one Lewes restaurant serves up some of the freshest seafood with amazing views of the Lewes and Rehoboth Canal.

The Wheelhouse is a new seafood spot in a familiar location. It took over the old Wharf in Lewes in 2018.

The location could not be better - it sits near Fisherman's Wharf on the Lewes and Rehoboth Canal, and if there's a boat slip available, you can sail right on in.

The raw bar is one of the best around, and you'll love the selection of fresh oysters, mussels, and clams available when you stop by.

For a casual bite, order up some fish tacos and pair it with a refreshing tropical cocktail.

If you're looking for something heartier, order from their extensive menu of fish options, or try one of their tasty, creative burgers.

The best part about dining at the Wheelhouse is the patio! Sit outside and watch the ships roll in.

There's no better view in all of Lewes, and you'll love dining at the Wheelhouse and taking in this seaside scene.
