I had a couple of awesome meals last week in Ocean Isle NC. If you're ever in the area, Wing & Fish and Smoke'd, both in Shallotte, were AMAZING. I'd highly recommend both. I had my first low country boil at Smoke'd. Clams, shrimp, smoked sausage, taters, and corn "ribs."
I usually do spicier wings, but "smoky bacon glazed" sounded too good to pass up. Best wings I have ever had. I had sweet potato fries with cinnamon butter with them.
The pizza at Maria's in Ocean Isle was also excellent.
Spilt Milk has one helluva selection of donuts. Of course, our kid only wanted glazed...
A taco joint called Chunky Salsa had some killer shrimp tacos.
And you can't not have ice cream at the beach.
