We spent 2 weeks at Pine Knoll Shores in Oct. 2009 and ended up eating at the Crab Shack on 3 occassions. It is right on the waterfront of Bogue Sound, with trawlers and boats docked right there.

Our family really enjoyed our experience at the Crab Shack. This is the real seafood experience. Outstanding food served in large quantities right on the waterfront. Very friendly people in an authentic seafood setting. We'll be back! more

The Crab Shack is located in the little town of Salter Path, NC. If you want just simply great seafood, this is the place to go. Everything is good here. We usually have the combination of fried shrimp, oysters and fish. The hushpuppies, coleslaw and "sweet tea" are great too. This is where the locals eat. The restaurant itself is... more
