All along North Carolina’s stunning coast residents and visitors alike can find restaurant after seafood restaurant – each with stellar offerings. But not all seafood spots come complete with a no-fuss atmosphere where you feel right at home flip flops and all. The Shuckin’ Shack Oyster Bar currently has nine locations in the Tar Heel State (with a 10th opening soon in Rocky Mount). Today, though, we’re featuring their no-frills spot found curbside right on North Lake Park Boulevard in the heart of Carolina Beach. This spot right here has some of the best seafood in North Carolina!
If you've spent any time at all in Carolina Beach then you know there is no shortage of seafood dining establishments. And perhaps that is precisely why discovering the Shuckin' Shack for the first time feels like finding a hidden needle in a haystack - even though it's right in the middle of all of the hullabaloo that is Carolina Beach.
Shuckin' Shack locations in North and South Carolina consistently rank high among reviews from visitors, almost always lingering the 4.5 stars range - and it's easy to see (and taste!) why.
Come on in and order up shrimp, clams, mussels and snow crabs by the pound. Or, order up a family-size meal with a Lowcountry Boil (pictured), a Cappy's Roast, or a Saul T's Steampot. Each one is stuffed to the gill with fresh seafood and seasoned and cooked to perfection.
You can also order up any number of seafood sandwiches, including a lobster roll crammed with meat (pictured), Polish keilbasa, fried chicken tenders, fried cod, and more. The possibilities are endless!
Whatever you order as your main meal, don't skip over the many options for Oyster Shooters. They include an oyster on the half shell served with a shooter than can feature a Bloody Mary shooter, a special mix featuring Jose Cuervo and hot sauce, and of course, shots that feature vodka, as well.
The next time you're over in Carolina Beach, seek out the Shuckin' Shack. There may be a ton of dining options in this family-friendly beach town, but you'll be missing out if you don't discover the goodness awaiting at this eatery.
