As most of you already know, we use ONLY fresh seafood sourced from local waters. For our FISH + CHIPS, we use a rotating selection of local fish sold to us fresh off the boats from our amazing seafood purveyors at the Port of Wanchese on the south end of Roanoke Island.

This week’s Fish + Chips features RIBBONFISH, known for its briny, mild flavor and small white flakes. Ribbonfish have a striking appearance. Their tiny scales are bright silver, almost reflective. They have yellow eyes and a long mouth filled with sharp teeth. They are often caught by recreational anglers on piers and in the surf of the Southeast. Ribbonfish are a prized food fish in Japan, but have yet to be widely embraced by American eaters. The flesh is between flounder and sea trout – mild with a hint of briny, ocean flavor. The texture is delicate, with white, flaky meat.

Drop by this week and enjoy a taste of the Outer Banks with our local fresh catch FISH + CHIPS!
