I ate at Mrs Kitchens house when I was a kid, I’m now 59 and still remember going into her house and sitting at the table and she fed us one of the best meal I’ve ever had. Back in the early 70 s . I grew up in the summers in Deal Island and still have a house there we use on weekends and holidays. I got to dredge and cull oysters in Honga river and the Tangier Sound on the skipjack Claud W. Sommers and the Helen Virginia. Fished up soft crabs out of floats on the water with lights strung over them very early in the mornings. Packaged them in wax covered boxes to go to the buyer. Pulled pots in the summer on the workboat. It was a much better time then. I miss the older guys that are now gone. They taught me a lot of things about the water, some of which saved my life.
As a Maryland native I feel cheated for not ever visiting Smith Island. I need to get there and I need to drink some Jack Daniels at Jack and Pickle’s 💯🤙🏼

Ms kitchen's. A GREAT COOK. Nuff said I wish I had a copy of her copy of her Cook book.
If you visit the Smith Island Cultural Center you can purchase a copy!
Where can someone dock a boat to visit the Island? Are there public docks? Thanks
There a few options! You can find more details on getting to the island at this link: proptalk.com/see-the-bay-smith-island-md

So no Amazon delivery I take it? 😂
They have Amazon delivery, it comes in on a green boat along with USPS mail
