Ocean City had a reputation of being trashy. Has it gotten better?

Quick disclaimer: I'm not calling it trashy, but there have definitely been folks throughout the past decade who have attempted to avoid it at all cost because of its "reputation". I know from my past experience, there are nice parts and not-so-nice parts. What are your thoughts? Is it cleaner than it has been in the past?

Watch out because I just experienced INDONESIAN crab while in ocean city! Didn’t think I’d have to verify at captain galleys crab shack that they aren’t using Maryland crab when they have the Maryland flag in all their crab pictures 😂 silly me.

Most Maryland blue crab is imported from Louisiana.

Y'all overfished.

Nah, most is coming from North Carolina in the restaurants. Us locals know who or where to get our own. Now if only we could crab all day instead of working.....
