Family-run seafood store opens in Bethany Beach

A new seafood experience that brings social fun and one-of-a-kind dining adventures has opened in Bethany Beach.

The first Topsail Steamer location in Delaware provides steam pots of fresh, local seafood, meats and veggies for customers to take home, steam and eat.

Owner and founder Danielle Mahon grew up near Delaware and was inspired by summers at the beach with family and friends enjoying fresh seafood and salty air. “Topsail Steamer combines everything that is great about the Delaware shore, and we give families an exciting, memorable way to enjoy the coast and its local seafood together,” said Mahon.

The Bethany Beach Topsail Steamer has a beachy, down-to-earth vibe, and is located in the heart of the boardwalk at 98 Garfield Pkwy., Unit 109. The storefront allows customers to come in and create their own made-to-order Bay Bucket in minutes to take home and enjoy.

The company is hiring 10-15 employees for the new store.

Customers can choose from one of seven Signature Bay Buckets or build their own. Each steam pot starts with a single-use bay bucket filled with fresh local seafood, meats, corn and potatoes, and homemade seasonings. The pot comes with easy-to-follow preparation instructions. Just roll out the paper, invite friends and family, and enjoy a fresh seafood feast.

Takeout from the storefront is available daily from noon to 8 p.m. Pots also can be shipped nationwide to friends and family who need a taste of the beach.
