Perfectly perfect creatures of the sea

A seceret tucked away in Carrolla Light NC. Amazing meal, with sides all falling into the home cooked category. Crabs were great and the best we have had. Great setup for picking your crabmeat. Crab soup was creamy and the best ever. EVER. Service was outstanding and I would recommend families, large groups or even a date nite to experience what we last night so enjoyed !!!

App takes you to wrong location actual location circled in photo

Food was very good. It was served quickly and courteously. Pricing was fair. We were there at 3 on a Monday afternoon in April.

I'll call this take advantage of tourists restaurant. Look at the "lobster" role. It's actually fake crab. Soup tasted out of can. Clam's excellent. Fish special ok (flounder). Fries limp. Avoid at all cost

Southern Sampler (comes with Cornbread + choice of two sides-- I chose the Hushpuppies and Mac n Cheese)

I decided to eat here while on vacation with my family in the Outer Banks. I ordered the Southern Sampler that came with Cornbread and choice of two sides-- I chose the Hushpuppies and Mac n Cheese. I also tried an order of the Fish Tacos. The Southern Sampler comes with Smoked Beef Brisket, Pork BBQ, and Chicken BBQ. The Smoked Beef Brisket was really good. It was cooked well, soft, and flavorful. However, the Chicken BBQ tasted a little dry and overcooked. The chicken and pork were good but not great-- definitely not the best barbecue I've ever had. The side of Hushpuppies was good. The Hushpuppies were fresh, crispy on the outside, and soft on the inside. The Mac n Cheese was standard. It wasn't overcooked which was good, but it also was definitely not the best Mac n Cheese I've ever had. The Fish Taco was not that great. The Catch of the Day that they used in the taco tonight was Mahi Mahi. The fish was over-fried and too crispy. The tortilla was too big for the fish. And the taco lacked an acidic component, such as the typical cilantro-lime sauce, to balance out the flavors of the fish. Overall, the stars of my dinner were the Smoked Beef Brisket and the Hushpuppies. Everything else was mediocre and overpriced considering the cooking, the portion sizes, and that they served alcohol in plastic cups and average tasting seafood/ barbecue platters on paper plates for upwards of 20 dollars.

Worker took the time to show us a Blue Crab

Our first time staying in Corolla Light. We did take out boils and they were amazing! They were busy and the worker still took time to show a Blue Crab to a little girl who asked! Extremely classy!! Will 100% go back again!!
