Hooked, The Owners of Off The Hook and Just Hooked Open Their Third Restaurant in Ocean City


Recommended Posts

Back from another trip to O. C. and, once again, no idea why Don buries this national class Mid Atlantic beach resort in the "Baltimore" thread.  There are more people from the D. C. area there (and Philly and Wilmington) than Baltimore.

Regardless, we went back to Shark on the Harbor in West Ocean and discovered Hooked which has waits which make Rose's look look like prep school to the graduate school 90 minute wait at 9:30 last night at 80th and Coastal Highway..

Hooked is the equal of Black Salt.  It is THAT good.  By Ocean City standards THAT is incredible.  O. C. shouldn't have a restaurant this good.  But it does.

No reservations.

No comment.

But, it has a lot of ambience, white table cloth, soft lighting and is worthy of an anniversary and the drive from D. C.

Shark on the Harbor is a different place before the sun sets.  It has a really talented chef but doesn't have the "feel" (before sunset) of a serious restaurant.  Yet some of what is served is imaginative and excellent.  We loved it and will return-after dark.

Right now, based on a half dozen or so trips in the last year and tens of thousands of calories I would suggest that Hooked is Ocean City's best restaurant.  Captain's Table, Liquid Assets (fantastic setting for a restaurant with tables in the middle of a candle light lit wine shop) and Shark on the Harbor all are seriously worth a visit, too.

We go back to O. C. for New Year's Eve.  We will spend it at Hooked.  Probably much of the evening waiting in line...
