About BLACK PELICAN SEAFOOD COMPANY


Let's be completely honest, nothing beats the historical charm and significance of this 1874 structure that has been beautifully restored to this great restaurant you can experience today. In fact, these folks bring in over 100,000 customers each summer - truly impressive! They carry a complete delicious menu but our two favorites that we recommend are the Wanchese Fishermans' Risotto which has shrimp, scallops and crabmeat. Then, the Citrus Rosemary Brined Roasted Chicken Breast that is just perfection in a mouthful. This laid back spot has been a local favorite for the residents in Kitty Hawk but has also garnered much approved praise from visitors all over the world. In essence, its a spot for anything from steaks, pizza and even seafood. Some other fan favorites here include their Pecan Crusted Mahi Mahi, Oysters Orville, fresh Swordfish, Gouda Mashed Potatoes, Baked Brie, Blue Cheese Crusted Strip Steak, Scallops Jacque, Blackened Tuna Bites and so much more. To our delight, the menu constantly is updated while the favorites remain - so it's nice to visit and see what's on the menu that day. We love the location, ambiance and the staff are always terrific. Perfect portions and far pricing complete the entire experience.
