Erik rides more than you. He has been pedaling the country and living off of his bike for the last three years, learning to take life as it comes.

Maine is known for its fresh seafood, specifically lobster, and has many other foods native to its culinary culture that are unbreakably tied to the state.

Many Marylanders boasted of serving their crab cakes with yellow mustard, with one user stating, 'growing up it was always fried crab cakes with saltine crackers and yellow mustard.'

The quaintness has always been present, but the increased interest in Mystic, the evolution of its restaurant scene, the rise of social media, and the changes in how people travel have all contributed to its remarkable growth. The Delamar adds a luxury hotel and fine dining that enhance Mystic's charm while welcoming visitors to stay longer and experience the town more deeply.

East Coast oysters are known and loved over the world for the clean minerality and distinctive salinity, which is reflective of the cold Atlantic waters where they come from. Although Maine and Maryland get a lot of credit, oysters are present along the continent's entire eastern coast, as far north as Canada's Prince Edward Island all the way down to South Florida.

Participants gathered at Constitution Beach, where dozens of "splashers" ran into the freezing water to raise money for the Better Beaches Grant Program. The program provides small grants to individuals and organizations that host free public events and activities each summer on Department of Conservation and Recreation beaches from Nahant to Nantasket.

Generally, East Coast oysters are brinier than West Coast oysters. Eastern oysters, raised either in the Atlantic Ocean or in its estuaries, live in a much saltier environment. West Coast oysters are mostly raised in protected bays, estuaries, and tidal rivers, where there is much less salt.

After 20 plus wonderful years, we have made the difficult decision to close the doors of DiParma Italian Table. This place has meant so much to our family and to our community, and we are incredibly grateful for the friendships, memories, and support we've shared over the years.

Nothing screams summer in New England more than a fresh, buttery lobster roll. Whether you like yours served cold and loaded with creamy filling or you prefer a bun stacked with warm, naked claws, lobster rolls are a staple part of the Northeastern diet - and they're often enjoyed in other parts of the country too. If you're a fan, then there's another seafood sandwich you should try, especially if lobsters aren't commonly found in your area: Scallop rolls.

Summer on the Cape is all about the beautiful beaches and amazing views, chill atmosphere, fantastic seafood, tons of entertainment with town band concerts, outdoor movies, and Cape Cod Baseball League games. The diversity of the Cape's 15 towns, along with spectacular shopping, make it a must-see place, along with all the amazing adventures you can do by air, land, and sea.

Stuffed clams are that perfect mixture of homey flavors - like garlic, butter, and breadcrumbs - and elevated seafood. But making the perfect stuffed clams isn't as easy as stuffing whatever clams you have. There are more than 10 different types of clams, and you must choose the clam with the right type of shell for your stuffing needs. Luckily, Tasting Table caught up with Franklin Becker, the chef/owner of Manhattan seafood restaurant Point Seven, who shelled out some pretty top-notch advice.

Campbell's has been producing chunky soups since 1970, with the Old Bay Seasoning collaboration hitting shelves in 2022. There are so many ways to use Old Bay seasoning, so it's a pairing that makes sense, but our tester felt like the execution just wasn't there. Despite Campbell's promising "generous pieces of hearty clams," the soup was mostly made up of potatoes, which is not what you want from a good New England clam chowder.

While many football fans are preparing to watch the upcoming Super Bowl, the team at Tasting Table is thinking about a different kind of bowl: a warm, cozy, soup-filled bowl, and the kind brimming with fresh clams, potatoes, and a creamy base, known fondly as clam chowder. There are plenty of clam chowder types to choose from. These include San Francisco clam chowder - a nod to the city hosting Super Bowl 2026 - and New England clam chowder, the well-known chowder powerhouse.

Valentine's Day is about expressing love for special people in your life. One way to do so is to pamper that person as much as possible. That can mean starting the day off with delicious breakfast in bed. Muffins can be prepared in advance and are easy to enjoy in hand for a breakfast that involves lounging and love. Blackberry Crunch Muffins marry coffee cake and muffin elements and tart berries for something that is equal parts breakfast and dessert.
