Kitty Hawk · North Carolina
Locally owned and proudly serving fresh North Carolina seafood since 2012.
A shellfish market with a seat for you
We’re a small, locally owned seafood spot built around what the Outer Banks does best: blue crabs from the sound, oysters shucked at the bar, and plates made for passing around the table.
Meet us at the oyster bar
Settle in for freshly shucked oysters, prepared favorites, and the easygoing pace of an authentic Outer Banks seafood restaurant.
Caught here. Cooked here.
Our owner is a third-generation commercial fisherman who works the Currituck Sound. That connection to the water is why North Carolina blue crabs remain at the heart of what we do.
