BLUF: A fun outing for friends and family with a safe and experienced Captain and waterman…read more I come from a family of waterman and waterwomen so I always enjoy learning the craft of others. Since I'd never been shrimping and my knowledge was limited to what I learned from Lieutenant Dan I thought it would be fun to book a trip with Captain Marc. We booked a three hour tour on the Roanoke Sound. No Gilligan or skipper but we had Capt Marc and first mate Aiden. Also, the outcome was much better than that on Gilligan's Island. We spent most of the time Shrimpin ' and then quickly had a half bushel basket overflowing with nice crabs - mostly, full #1s and a few measure-worthy Jimmy's. Shrimping was fun and interesting but our catch wasn't that great. The brown shrimp had left the Sound and the green shrimp weren't running yet. We caught enough shrimp to fill a gallon bag half way. Even if we hadn't caught any shrimp I would have had a blast. It was neat to see the process and what was in the net when it came up - everything from a rusty rogue crab pot to an ugly Oyster Toasfish to a tropical-looking butterfly fish. When the shrimp net came up we got to sort through the catch - shrimp were set aside, small fish were saved for bait and all other sea creatures were safely returned to the Sound. Despite having seven crabbers in my party in including two commercial crabbers - we loved pulling pots from the water and culling our catch. My crabbing family uses trotlines so pulling pots was a new experience for us. Ultimately We took our catch which was the 1/2 gallon bag of shrimp and 3/4 bushel basket crabs home in our cooler and enjoyed them all. We also enjoyed the company of the first (and only) Mate Aiden. He worked hard to keep the boat clean and organized and answered our questions. Three hours was just enough time for our group but I can see where others would enjoy a little more time on the boat. The experience was very chill which I liked but a few members of my party were wishing we had a card game or something to play. For an August trip we packed a cooler, water, soft drinks, sunscreen, hats and a few light snacks. Overall, this was a great experience and a great crew.

Well worth your time and money as you will not find anyone better! He even showed us some new bait and we are definitely going to try it when we make it home! Fishbites for the win!

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.

There is the…read moreFishheads restaurant, which serves breakfast sandwiches in the morning if you show up early and are hungry. The pier sways a lot at times, but it's kinda relaxing, imo. A guy broke the line on a large skate or ray at one point, at the end of the pier, so there's good stuff to be had. For bait he had been using a spot his son caught in the middle of the pier, so work that upselling magic here if you can. Service was generally good, but an employee yelled at me for parking in the handicapped spot, despite my handicapped placard, just because he didn't see my father walking with a cane on the other side of the vehicle. I even pointed to the placard when he first mentioned it, but he said it again. Maybe just look next time? Maybe I have a disability you can't see? Oh well. There are other fishing piers down here that I can go to next time I come down. Maybe the people there won't jump on me for not breaking the law.
