Thames Street Oyster House
Maryland
Thames Street Oyster House occupies a converted historic row house on Baltimore's Fells Point waterfront. Chef Eric Houseknecht's seasonal cooking brings together Maryland, wider Mid-Atlantic and New England seafood traditions, with daily specials reflecting the available catch. An à la carte raw bar anchors the oyster-house format, while the wider menu allows for a longer seafood dinner. Recent starters have included Atlantic octopus ceviche with lime, avocado and coriander, and smoked whitefish rillettes with cornichons and grilled baguette. The historic building and Thames Street address keep the restaurant closely connected to the maritime character of the neighbourhood.
