Chesapeake Oyster Week (ChOW) is a weeklong celebration of Maryland’s most iconic shellfish. This statewide campaign, led by the Oyster Recovery Partnership in collaboration with the Maryland Department of Agriculture’s Maryland’s Best program, shines a spotlight on the essential role of locally harvested oysters—from their incredible taste to their powerful role in Chesapeake Bay restoration, and supports restaurants that recycle shells to help restore the Bay. Whether you're a die-hard seafood lover, or Bay-friendly restaurant, you don't want to miss Chow!
