Kelly’s Outer Banks Restaurant Offers Local Seafood

Kelly’s Outer Banks Restaurant is a proud member of Outer Banks Catch.

Outer Banks Catch is a local seafood consortium that seeks to educate about the seafood industry and the importance of sourcing fish from local fishermen.
Did you know that most of the fish that is purchased or served in the United States is imported? Your fish and shellfish like shrimp have an 80% chance of being from Vietnam or China. Be sure to ask for locally sourced fish.
The Outer Banks is a great place to ask for locally sourced fish when you dine out. The Atlantic coast of the Outer Banks is home to one of the most diverse ecological systems that support a wide variety of fish and shellfish throughout the year. Winter is known for oysters and trout. Spring is all about the soft shell crabs while summer is all about the shrimp and fresh tuna. Check out the seafood availability chart located here.
Even more importantly, when you spend one dollar locally on seafood this generates twice the income for the local economy. This is wonderful news for the many local families who have fished these waters for many, many years. This demanding career is part of the local heritage on the Outer Bank of North Carolina.

Fresh, Local Seafood!

At Kelly’s Outer Banks Restaurant, the seafood you are ordering likely came out of the Ocean or the Pamlico or Albermarle sound just a short time before it ends up on your plate.
As we noted above, the offerings are seasonally based. For spring, Kelly’s is offering the following seasonal specialties:

• Ask us about our scrumptious Soft Shell Crabs, which are increasing in size by the day. We offer them fried, sautéed, and stuffed.
• Because our fishermen are now able depart from Oregon Inlet, your catering menu can feature delicious local catch such as fresh Mahi-mahi and Yellowfin Tuna.
• As the winds die down and water temperature increases here on the Outer Banks, the bottomfish are hitting our kitchen. Your Outer Banks catering menu might include delicate fish like Grouper and Tilefish.

Look for these items on the menu and featured nightly as specials. Once you have tasted fresh seafood, you will never want to eat frozen seafood again. Kelly’s Outer Banks Restaurant will make sure that you know the difference.
