Locally, sourced makes them outstanding.

I was at the Outer Banks with my girlfriend for a weekend Girlfriend Getaway.

So we chose places that we identified as both beachy and upscale.

However, we also wanted the latest tastes in food and beverages.

Wow, did we find a great restaurant in Steamers Seafood! Just what we were seeking.

It’s really hard to choose just one, so we did not. My girlfriend and I went all-in and taste-tested a few.

Now, I gotta tell you, we each had our favorites, but they all were extraordinary, and what I will refer to as ‘repeaters’.

A drink that I call a ‘repeater’ is one that I would order over and over again!

Fresh Fried Clam Strips

Fresh Cut Cold Water Clams with a Zesty Remoulade.

I have no idea what Chef Braswell does to these, or how they come out so crisp, and not bogged down with oil, but, these were one of my favorites.

Well, everything I ate was my favorite but as far as clam strips go, you will NEVER taste a better one and I’ve eaten my fair share around the world.

Delicious. Light. Airy. Crunchy.

Dip into the remoulade and light it up even more!

Lobster and Shrimp Toast Points

If the first look does not WOW you, the first taste will.

It’s light and tasty and a really great way to experience 2 of my favorite seafood on one plate.

Crunchy celery yielding to soft seafood textures, in an unknown dressing. It’s fantastic!

Mouthful by mouthful, I would not share, nor put my fork down.

The fresh shrimp and lobster served with Chimmi Bread is a winner from start to finish.

I might even go as far as to say it is addictive and could be a meal on its own.

I felt bad for my girlfriend because I did not want to share this treat on a plate.

Order it, you will be happy!

Honey Bourbon Grilled Salmon – Freshest Seafood Dinner In The Outer Banks

For those in search of a ‘Holy Foodgasm’ moment order and eat this!

I despise Salmon, but I never pass up the chance to taste it in new ways.

Oh My Gosh- Chef Braswell nails this dish and I wish he were in Pittsburgh.

Using and Oak Barrel Bourbon & Honey Glaze he someone prepares this dish to make Salmon (even to a salmon hater) delish!

It’s crazy good, and you can taste the glaze. I licked the fork, and maybe the plate (you won’t know because you were not there, lol!).

Flaky. Tender. Moist. Better yet a heart-healthy choice! This salmon dish rocks and should take priority placement on the menu.

Yummiclicious is all I can say and that is not even a good enough foodie term.

I said you would get the Freshest Seafood Dinner In The Outer Banks and this plate is that! Jumbo Lump Crab Cake

Making another appearance on our table was this Jumbo Lump Crab Cake.

Now I am a total sucker for a crab cake and I order one everywhere.

Hello sinfully tasty.

I have no idea what is in it, nor do I care, all I can say is, ‘More please!’ In other words, you just can’t go wrong with this dish!

A lovely, 4oz Jumbo Lump Crab Cake, atop Calabash Asparagus upon a bed of Mac and Cheese.

You gotta know that a few food rules have been broken to in my book because I ate what I should not have and wayyyyy too much!

Calabash Shrimp Jambalaya <<< Freshest Seafood Dinner In The Outer Banks

Open up your mouth, pick up your fork, and try out the Lightly Fried Jumbo Shrimp bedded on a Carolina Sausage Jambalaya striped with a Cajun Creme Fraiche.

Now to be honest and fair, I did not eat the sausage jambalaya ( I don’t eat meat) but my friend did and she scooped it up forkful by the forkful. #TestimonyToDelish

Keep Room For Dessert

What can I say, it’s about the food when I travel and the adventure.

Trust me, we had an adventure today, so we treated ourselves to a top-notch dinner in a really beautiful atmosphere.

Rounding out our night, was dessert.

Now my girlfriend loves dessert, far more than I, but I did dabble a fork into each!
