If you are going to be living in or visiting Sunset Beach, North Carolina, then you absolutely have to enjoy some of the seafood that is offered. Since it’s right on the beach, the seafood is as fresh as any you’ll find in other seaside towns. You can get oysters, fish, crabs, and shrimp that were pulled out of the salty sea the same day they get to your plate! Whether you want to eat out or use your condo’s kitchen to cook on your own, you can find some of the area’s best seafood right in Sunset Beach.
One of the local favorites is Crabby Oddwater’s. Don’t be put off by the name! It’s crabby because it serves lots and lots of crab, and oddwater is simply the name of the type of small inlet the restaurant is situated by. It’s built right over a fresh seafood market, so you can always get the best fresh seafood no matter when you eat out at Crabby’s.
Another local favorite is the Twin Lakes Seafood Restaurant, which is always crowded with people who love the food. Again, you can get a lot of food for your money at this restaurant, and it specializes in fresh, local seafood dishes. The seafood here is so fresh that it doesn’t have to be hidden under piles of sauce, so you can enjoy unadulterated seafood straight from the ocean that day.
If you’d prefer to cook on your own, you can still enjoy the freshest seafood you’ve ever eaten. Simply head to the Island Market. You can get fresh seafood brought in from the boats that day. If you need some suggestions on how to cook it, just ask one of the gurus at the market or track down a local. The best way to cook most seafood is simply, with just a few seasonings. Pair your seafood with a nice glass of white wine from the local winery, and you’ll have a fantastic dinner for two or for the whole family.
