Question 2

How far is Rockville from the Chesapeake Bay?

Rockville is roughly 50–60 miles from the Bay Bridge, or about 60–75 minutes depending on traffic on Route 50 or I-97. Many Rockville residents make the Bay run on summer weekends for crabs.

Where do Rockville-area seafood markets source their crabs?

Most Rockville-area seafood markets source from Eastern Shore suppliers, watermen cooperatives, or Baltimore-area distributors. Ask when the crabs arrived — fresh stock typically comes in Tuesday–Friday.
