Click here to visit the Fish House Restaurant while visiting the Outer Banks of North Carolina.

If you want fresh seafood, this is about as close as you can get. Fish House is in a former fish house right on Buxton Harbor, where fishing boats unload their catches. You get fabulous water views, a cheerful atmosphere and good eats. Now owned and operated by the Oden family, with well-known local restaurateur Tracy Callahan at the helm, Fish House has a new menu with updated offerings of fresh, healthy food. The appetizer menu, which is available for lunch and dinner, features creative offerings such as tuna tacos, spinach/artichoke-stuffed mushrooms, blue crab bruschetta and the Fish House’s famous seafood crostini. For lunch try one of the New Orleans–style po’boys, a fried seafood basket or one of the $6.99 home-style lunch specials (think liver and onions, hamburger steak, fish cakes). Healthy side dishes offer an alternative to fries. For dinner there is steamed or fried seafood, potato chip–encrusted crab cakes with red pepper aioli, steaks, pastas, vegetarian offerings and innovative chef’s specials every night.
