More than 750 people showed up to Crooked Hammock Brewery in Lewes Feb. 4 for the 10th annual Best Wings on the Shore contest, hosted by Ocean 98.1.

The event brings together restaurants mainly from Ocean City, Md., and the Cape Region to see who can make the best chicken wings, as voted on by the crowd. Categories included best overall, hottest and most creative.

The wings were provided by Mountaire Farms, and the event raised $14,500 in entry donations for Ocean 98 Foundation’s Cash for College Fund, which helps local high school students pay for books at college.

In a repeat win, Matt’s Fish Camp took home the best overall award for its Sticky Icky wings.
