    Island Dog with Chili and Slaw - Maritime Cafe
    Hailey S.

    This is fine place to buy groceries. It's pretty well stocked, which I remember surprising my family during our first visit to the island a few years ago. There was a good choice for beer and wine. Yes, it might be expensive compared to grocery stores off the island, but it's also extremely convenient to just run to the store. My family was only on the island for a week, so we tried to bring most of what we needed. However, we made regular (read: daily) visits here for water, soda, beer, and miscellaneous items. There is a market cafe at the front of the store. It's okay. I'm posting pictures of the menu and some of our food. The line was a little hectic, and the cafe was generally chaotic while we were there. But my Spicy Tuna Salad wrap was very good. Everyone else in my family was not unhappy but also not impressed with their food (a hot dog with chili, chicken tenders, a ham sandwich, and a piece of pizza). It's a convenient and quick lunch, but it's not the best thing you've ever eaten. They also serve breakfast, but we didn't have that (other than coffee - which is fine). A side note is that they carry Nye's ice-cream sandwiches in a freezer ] near the check out lines, and they're really good (related to the ice-cream shop connected to the market, I think). I had a Key Lime Pie sandwich and a Peppermint Chocolate one over the course of my trip. It's expensive for an ice-cream sandwich (the total for one sandwich was just over $6.00), but they're killer. I think it's a must try, and you can sit outside the market or even take them to the beach.

    A periodic ritual on Bald Head Island, the oyster roast brings everyone on the island to socialize, drink and of course partake of roasted oysters. Married together with wonderful side dishes the event brings out over 350 participants. The event offers alcohol tickets for tap beer or wine. However you can also buy your favorite libations at the market and drink at the event as long as it has a paid sticker on it. If you are on the island or close by on the mainland this event is with the trip.

    Plenty of options at the seafood counter.  They also will special order items not on stock.

    After a pair of visits to the island, I've come to the realization that I have your classic "love - hate" relationship with the Maritime Market (MM). LOVE: For a tiny grocer not much bigger than a convenience store, MM really has an impressive array of products. Given the dearth of decent dining options on the island, I cook most of my meals while on vacation. It is rare that I cannot find the items I need when visiting the market. HATE: The aisles are exceptionally narrow, so expect to feel like you are in a mosh pit with other shopper when trying to maneuver through the store with a basket full of goods. LOVE: The MM staff members are friendly and helpful to a fault. They are quick to provide directions to lost shoppers and the cashiers always wear a smile, even when the store is slammed with customers. It may take a while to checkout, but that is more a function of the crush of customers than inefficient staff. Finally, mad props to the staff at the deli counter - they saved my bacon when I arrived late Friday afternoon to find a single take and bake pizza left in the deli. They quickly volunteered to make me four more pizzas, averting a potential revolt by the herd of famished kids back at the house eagerly waiting for their evening feeding. HATE: Then there are the prices. They are a monopoly on an island that is a major tourist destination and MM takes their capitalistic responsibilities quite seriously. Each time I make a trip to the store, I expect to see the cashiers wearing masks and have them instruct me to remove my valuables and empty the contents of my wallets into a bag. Pro tip: Consider loading up on pantry items on the mainland, box them up for the ferry trip to the island. It was a hassle, but that step saved me a couple hundred dollars and several hours shopping at the market after I arrived. LOVE: MM carries an impressive collection of wines. You pay for the privilege, but don't fret if you forgot to pack a couple of bottles of wine. You will be able to find something you like. HATE: This is a minor hate, but the store does have a choice of where they source their produce and it would be nice if they could bring in more local produce during the growing season. There is a bounty of fresh produce grown in and around Southport which could be ferried to the island like everything stocked by the store. Make it happen MM, make it happen! LOVE: The Nye's Cream Sandwiches served at the ice cream window will make you swoon. They are that good. Even with its warts, I really do appreciate the Maritime Market. The convenience of a short golf cart ride to the market more than compensates for the hassle of riding the ferry to the mainland for provisions.

    Signs say that patrons must wear masks but the staff does not. Plenty of chin guards, though.

    Has everything you could want at a slightly higher price. The old adage is that you can't ever leave without spending $100.

    Both cantaloupe and watermelon have a special significance to me along with the year 1969. That was…read morethe year I graduated high school from Christopher Columbus High School in the Bronx. The first half of the summer was spent attending the Shorehaven Beach club, a Bronx beach club for lower middle class families like ours. It was a great outlet for me. I made lots of friends outside of my normal circle and enjoyed so many incredible activities like paddle ball and swimming and got to see incredible entertainment like Steve Lawrence and Eddie Gorme. I knew I would be leaving for Israel the end of July in 1969 and so I spent the first part of the month going on a diet. Things were very different those days. We had no concepts of fats and proteins and carbs and how it all works. Those days, everybody advised you if you wanted to lose weight, that you should either eat a can of tuna fish drained with nothing else or cottage cheese with cantaloupe. I could not bring myself to eat that can of tuna so I literally lived on cantaloupe and cottage cheese for a month. I lost weight but I could not stand to see either of those foods for quite some time. The second half of the summer I spent working on kibbutz Ginegar in Northern Israel. I had all kinds of jobs from feeding cows and chickens to picking fruit to cleaning pots in the dining room. When work was done and dinner was finished, the favorite activity for all of us young people would be to get together around the fire and eat watermelon. Sometimes we would sneak down to the community kitchen and steal one. We had so much fun singing songs and laughing and eating watermelon. That was the summer of 69! Well, I'm here to tell you in the summer of 2023 that there is no fruit stand that compares to Angie's Fresh Produce on Long Beach Road in Southport. I have stopped their intermittently over the last few years and have always loved how delicious their fruits are. I have not yet tried any of their vegetables or other offerings, but I have a feeling they are fantastic as well On my way to the beach the other day, watermelon was on my mind and so I stopped by Angie's. I always ask one of the women there to help me. They know exactly what to look for to pick me out a good one. Then I noticed there were these huge beautiful looking cantaloupes selling for $3 a piece. I told the woman to pick me out one of those as well. I came home, chilled both of them, put them on the cutting board and cut a piece and I absolutely died. They were so freaking delicious and so sweet and so perfect I could not believe it! OMG! SO DELICIOUS!!!!! For the last 2 days I have been chipping away at that cantaloupe and watermelon, never getting tired of its freshness and incredible taste. I'm heading back to Greensboro tomorrow and kind of excited that I have half of each yet to enjoy. My trainer, DeMarcus loves watermelon and cantaloupe and so I'm going to give him a slice tomorrow morning during our workout session. Maybe he won't be so hard on me! lol The rest I'm going to devour all by myself! The next time you are in the Southport /Oak Island area, you must must stop by Angie's Fresh Produce on Long Beach Road. Make sure you get one of the ladies there to help you. They are always spot on and they always pick out the most amazing melons. Enjoy!

    Excellent service and great quality produce and specialty foods! I love the summer tomatoes and…read morefruit especially.
