The best local fare I've had at the beach, that doesn't involve seafood, has to go to Scully's in Dewey Beach! I wandered in to recuperate after a day of fun at The Starboard and was greeted by Sharon Roy, owner with her husband Ben. After asking what the best thing on the menu was, I was given high recommendations about the bison sliders and sweet potato fries. Their local bison slider's from Colvine Bison Farms on Rte. 16 were absolutely to die for.
The meat is marinated to perfection and served by itself on a warm, fresh bun. I added a little mustard and ketchup but the bison would have been amazing just on its own. I couldn't get over how much flavor was in the meat, and how lean and tender it was. Bison is known to be healthier than beef, but you would never know with the punch of flavor they packed.
I could have easily eaten about six or thirty of these but I wanted to save room for the sweet potato fries, which were also highly recommended. They were hand cut and perfectly crispy with the sweet and salty flavor that I love. I was definitely surprised about this hidden gem that I found while wandering around for a snack, but I'm glad I found it.
Remember: "The belly rules the mind."
