These are some of the Coastal Delaware food trucks worth keeping on your radar when you want good food without making it complicated.

Upscale Crab & Seafood

If you want seafood that feels fresh, easy, and very Coastal Delaware, Upscale Crab & Seafood is an easy one to add to your list.

You can keep it simple with steamed or golden fried shrimp, grab hand-cut fries on the side, or go all in with live crabs to take home and steam yourself. 

With ordering options in Lewes, Millsboro, and Bethany, this is a good one to keep in mind when you want seafood without making dinner a whole production.
