Chesapeake cooking is Richmond's most local cuisine, built on the bay's oysters, crab and rockfish less than a hundred miles east. The style turns up across the dining districts in raw bars and refined seafood rooms. Rappahannock on East Grace Street in Shockoe Slip is the oyster-grower's own restaurant, while Bar Buoy works the same waters in Scott's Addition.
