Hook, Line & Dinner S02E05 - Chesapeake Bay

Off the mainland of Maryland, Ben travels to Smith Island and Tilghman Island, homes to longstanding family fishing businesses. On Smith Island, Ben heads out with the Marshall family for some early morning crabbing and spends the afternoon helping to prep Mary Ada Marshall's famous crab cakes. Over on Tilghman Island, Ben meets Buddy Harrison and his son Buddy Jr., whose family has lived on the Island for five generations. They take Ben out fishing for rockfish (striped bass), which Buddy Jr. then grills with stewed tomatoes, an old recipe of his great grandmother.
