Whether you are eating out or shopping at a retail outlet, always ask for NC Seafood! Outer Banks Catch is a partnership of Currituck, Dare, Hyde and Tyrrell Counties to help increase the demand for, add value to, and strengthen recognition of locally caught seafood. As a means of delivering an important food product for America, commercial fishing on the Outer Banks dates back centuries. Many families can trace 7th and 8th generation relatives to the local commercial fishing business. But sustainability of this industry in the 21st century has been tested by the ready availability of seafood from overseas.
The Outer Banks Catch marketing program helps consumers know which restaurants, seafood markets and other merchants provide locally caught seafood and provides information on the local commercial fishing industry. The initiative is supported by a grant from The Golden LEAF Foundation. For more information, visit www.outerbankscatch.com

Blue Fish are plentiful on North Carolina’s Outer Banks and they are great fun to catch. The problem is that most people don’t enjoy the strong flavor of this fish. Here is a recipe that will convert those who have either sworn to never try the fish or if they have, never eat it again!
It is simple and you can easily find the ingredients in your own kitchen or at the grocery store. Please feel free to call us at The Pearl if you have any additional questions about how to prepare this unusual and wonderful dish.
