Discover Oak Island
With a wide appeal cemented by its natural beauty, Oak Island is located along the Atlantic Ocean in North Carolina with seafood and sushi taking advantage of the daily fresh catch from the Atlantic. Enjoy fresh rolls and nigiri sushi, or go for another Japanese choice. Start your meal with an appetizer of grilled squid before moving on to the main course with choices like katsu curry dinner with traditional Japanese beef curry and a fried pork cutlet served over steamed rice with pickles on the side. For a different flavor, Southern comfort food is a staple in the south, and Oak Island taps into that well. Offerings include fried green tomatoes with pimento cheese and bacon jam and North Carolina shrimp with grits. For a sophisticated dining experience, head over to a French bistro for beef bourguignon in a red wine sauce with onions, mushrooms and lardons.
