I normally do not eat seafood, but when I do, this is the place to go. The food here is spectacular! The menu has a great variety of seafood appetizers and entrees, but they also have wonderful salad and meat choices, as well. They also have great cocktail options. I started with a bourbon and apple cider which was smooth and mixed perfectly. I then had the Fried Scallops appetizer. Very tasty with a citrus garnish. For my main, I had the good ole Fish and Chips. Portion was huge, lightly fried, and simply delicious. Dessert options are limited, but we had the Key Lime Pie which was amazing with a brilliant crunchy crust. Service was excellent. Parking can be tight, so come a little early. For seafood lovers, look no further for fresh, delicious seafood.

We had an amazing experience at Henlopen City Oyster House! The potato soup (I think that’s what it was called) was incredibly delicious. We also tried the oyster tray, and hands down, these were the best oysters in town! While I don’t recall the other dishes, the photos I took say it all—everything looked and tasted fantastic. Definitely coming back!

We have frequented the HCOH over the last 15 years. Atmosphere and service is great and food is very good.
However, this last visit was a bit disappointing. Main complaint was the portion size for some of the dishes. The crispy scallops were tasty but at $22 and for only 5 or 6 average sized scallops that was overpriced. The plate was also deceiving in that 3 lemon slices were disguised as scallops, making the dish seem larger.
We've ordered the $100 king crab leg before to share, and it always was large enough to feed 3 people. This time is barely fed 2. It was also a bit on the salty side but otherwise tasty and at the right consistency.
In contrast the sides dishes were too large, again making the meal seem larger than it was.
So I knock off 1 star for what otherwise could be a 5 star meal.
