Sugar Shack Fish Market Oyster Bar and Grill

Had the grilled swordfish, fried okra and the hush puppies and everything was delicious while still being reasonably priced.

Take out. One employee to serve people. In and out side as well as take out. Rediculas, I waited 15 minutes for take out soup because they were taking care of everyone that came in. You may want to hire!!

Great local seafood and vibes! Excellent friendly service. A TRUE and non commercialized OBX experience! Will absolutely be back!

Ate here based on mixed reviews, so here's another one to throw into the bowl.

ATMOSPHERE:
This place is a seafood market as well as a casual restaurant. The inside is freezing cold like a market, but we wanted to sit outdoors regardless because of the view. There's great views of the bay under a trellised patio. We saw a shrimper at work too. Expect to be busy shooing flies while eating.

FOOD:
Clam Chowder
It's not New England nor Manhattan style. It's brownish in color and tastes like clam beef vegetable soup. Good but not what I was expecting.

Shack Attack Po' Boy
This sandwich is way too big. I don't think anyone can open their mouth that wide. I ate with a fork and tossed the bread. It contains fried flounder, shrimp, scallops & oysters on a roll spread with marinara sauce and drizzled with an Italian dressing-Tabasco sauce and topped with shredded lettuce, and potato chips on the side. Unfortunately it lacked any sort of flavor or personality.

Large Shrimp
10 or so lightly breaded and deep-fried shrimp and shoestring fries. The breading isn't your usual thick & frozen breadcrumb variety which was awesome, because I can cook that at home! It came with a mildly spicy & peppery sauce for dipping. This dish is way better than the sandwich.

SERVICE:
You order & pay at the counter and your food is delivered. The guys in there were very patient and helpful.

OVERALL:
Nice views, prices are average, portions are generous. Pass on the sandwiches and stick to the grilled & fried items.

Crab dip

Stopped here after not being able to get what we needed at O’Neals and what a pleasant surprise! I was disappointed with O’Neals this time around, but in that bad experience, I found this place. Gentleman inside was super nice and patient. I was worried bc sign said fish market but when we went inside there was hardly anything in the cooler. We ordered a half bushel of oysters and waited literally 5 minutes whereas I’ve had to order and wait a day at other fish markets before. Atmosphere was laid back and chill, view of the sound was beautiful. Will need to go back to try lunch soon. Thank you for a pleasant experience :)

It doesn't look like much from the outside, but we had a local that recommended it and we were glad they did! The fried okra was incredible! Everything tasted fresh and was perfectly seasoned

Smallest amount of food I've ever seen for a $26 fried combo platter. It was our first time ordering dinner takeout here and I was shocked to see how little they put in the box.

Fish dinner was ice cold and took a half an hour to be served

Small cafe/deli style restaurant with views and indoor/outdoor seating available. Food was fresh and tasty with a good variety. Great option for a casual lunch with relaxed beach vibes.
