Tio Pepes is ( or was I haven't been there for years now ) Spanish.

Pollock Johnnys a Baltimore tradition. I think they have stopped having
the annual Pollock eating contest :-( also I believe that the Block
location ( along with the most of the Block ) is history. I now go to
the Lexington Market location, which is itself a unique eatery.

Lexington Market is an oldfashioned city market. each stall is independently
owned and operated. If it can be eaten you can get it there. When we're
in Baltimore My wife & I stop there and wander around trying to decide
what to eat. I always end up with 2 ( or 3 if we pass by the stall again)
Pollocks while she is more changeable, but usually ends it with cheesecake
from one of the bakeries there.

Dont forget Phillips at the inner Harbor. Phillips was a tradition when
it was only in Ocean City. People used to stand in line for hours to
get in for crabs etc. They serve traditional Chesepeake bay fare. Expect 
a wait a lot of locals will be there to.
