When we come to the Outer Banks we do look for grilled or lightly blackened seafood...but a couple…read moreof days ago I was looking for good ole-fashioned clam strip basket. Hard to find in Richmond so if I have a chance to get them, I jump at the chance. The special of the day was a flounder basket. I was able to substitute clam strips for other items, and the basket included a nicely sized piece of flounder (fish of the day), heaping helping of clam strips, fries, hush puppies, and slaw. "Beer of the Day" was $2.00! Wife got the cheesesteak sub with fries. All food--as they tell you when you walk in is fried--is fried. Totally OK with that and it was very, very tasty. Friendly staff, items mostly homemade, clean restaurant, a clear view of an honest-to-goodness working dock. Exactly what we were looking for for our last night in Manteo area. If you have not been to the Marina and Grill...please get there for a fun, tasty, almost entirely homemade meal at very reasonable prices, rubbing elbows with locals and people coming off of the fishing day, just adds to the charm to this slightly off the beaten path gem.

Found this spot in Yelp and said why not. I ordered the fried shrimp basket, hubby ordered the fried grouper and we loved our selections. My husband isn't a fan of shrimp but he tried it and loved it. The girls that working were super friendly. We got there just in time for lunch rush. Loved looking out to the harbor. We will be back and I'll give a follow up review.

If you're looking for a private fishing charter THIS IS IT! Brian has been a full time fisherman…read morefor over 30 years and knows what he's doing! We have fished with Brian for years now and have a blast every time. Additionally, he's incredibly honest. A few years ago a huge storm was blowing in that negatively impacted the fishing and he called us to let us know and cancel. We always enjoy Brian's competitive fishing stories and how hard he works to ensure we have a great time for every trip. We have sent friends to fish with him and they too have had a fantastic time with Brian. Fishing with him has been the highlight of our yearly OBX trips for years now. Funny side story, on this trip we were at a local fish market and we found out they also fish with Brian. So- the secret is out, definitely book in advance if you can!
