🦀 Lorraine’s Seafood
Lorraine’s is one of Tangier Island’s most beloved local stops started in 1981, known for serving up fresh, no-frills Chesapeake Bay seafood in a true island setting. Family-run and deeply rooted in the community, it reflects the pace and character of life on the water—simple, welcoming, and centered around what was caught that day.
Visitors come for classic Tangier staples like soft-shell crab, crab cakes, and fried seafood plates, all prepared in a style that highlights the natural flavor of the bay. The setting is casual and authentic, often with views of working docks and watermen coming in with the day’s catch.
More than just a restaurant, Lorraine’s offers a genuine taste of Tangier’s culture—where food, family, and the water are all closely connected.
