Calabash seafood is a local tradition known for fresh seafood that is lightly breaded, fried until golden, and served in generous portions with classic sides like hushpuppies, fries, and slaw. The style began in the small fishing village of Calabash, North Carolina, a place proudly known as the “Seafood Capital of the World.” Today, guests can enjoy everything from old-school seafood houses and casual waterfront spots to more polished restaurants with oysters, steaks, cocktails, and beautiful river views.
