Outer Banks Restaurants for Great Seafood

Of course tourists and frequent visitors go to Outer Banks restaurants for great seafood. Great seafood, after all, is expected here. So where do the locals go when they want the best?

Don't tell anyone. Unfortunately, I think the secret is out though. Here it is. Awful Arthur's Oyster Bar, one of the best Outer Banks restaurants for great seafood. It's in Kill Devil Hills on the beach road and milepost 6 across from Avalon Pier.

Can't say that I like oysters (slimy little rascals), but you just gotta try their spiced shrimp - perfect with the house salad. If you like clams or snow crab legs, they are steamed right before your eyes if you sit at the bar.

There are also tables but often there is a line waiting for seating. Don't let that stop you from eating here though. There is a bar upstairs ... great for shortening your wait, and it comes with an ocean view.

Awful Arthur's serves soups and salads, pasta (but why pasta when there's such great fish!), appetizers, sandwiches, dinners, and a selection for the munchkins.

I have mentioned there are many Outer Banks restaurants for great seafood, but TRY the flounder sandwich here. Not only is it huge, it is mouth watering, flaky, the best tasting flounder you'll find. I think it's time for me to make another stop for that sandwich.

Perhaps I'll see you there, and we can discuss more Outer Banks restaurants for great seafood. Or ... maybe we can talk about finding you that perfect beach cottage as a second home or permanent home!
