Savor Local Seafood and Visionary Flavors
At the heart of Dune Street is its standout raw bar—a true celebration of the region’s rich maritime bounty. Here, you’ll find oysters sourced from some of the finest watermen in North Carolina and beyond, including Herring Shoal Shellfish Co. from the backwaters of Oregon Inlet, Kinnakeet Oyster Company in Avon, Little Star Oyster Farm in the Pamlico Sound, and Savage Inlet Oysters, also from Oregon Inlet. These hand-selected oysters are served fresh on the half shell or featured in seasonal preparations that showcase their unique flavor profiles. The raw bar also offers rotating selections of shrimp, clams, and other seafood specialties—all delivered with unmatched freshness and coastal flair from top-quality fisheries such as Etheridge Seafood and Sea Reaper Sportfishing, both based on nearby Roanoke Island, as well as Sam Rust Seafood in Virginia’s Tidewater region. It’s a must for seafood lovers looking to taste the very best of the Outer Banks area.
