This is the BEST seafood place in TaterTown, imho!!!
On my farm, I've hosted over 500 people from all over the US and from over 50 different countries. Whenever the visitors to my farm ask about authentic food found solely in this region, I tell them about Calabash-style seafood. I've eaten at places in the immediate are, at the beach, and in Calabash itself. And I've eaten many classic restaurants which are no longer with us. So I know good seafood! To let out-of-towners and foreign folk eat something delicious and sure to leave them with great memories, there is only one place to go.
That is Adam's Seafood out on the By-pass!
This way they can try it for themselves. First, the very friendly wait staff impresses them with our great Southern hospitality. Most have never had a waitress call them 'darling', 'honey', or 'sugar' before! Most comment on how inexpensive the menu choices are compared to places in their homes. I always recommend that they get the 'Deluxe" platter for the best selection of delectable seafoods. They are unprepared for the unending heaping baskets of hushpuppies which are brought with their glistening glasses of sweet iced tea. I do have to warn them not to fill up on those crunchy balls of scrumptiousness. Then, in what seems to be two blinks, the waitress comes out with the large tray with their plates heaped with steaming seafood goodness! Seeing their eyes widen as the individual plates are set before them piled high with shrimp, oysters, flounder, scallops, deviled crab, fries, & cole slaw!
No matter how talkative the table was prior to the food being brought out, all goes silent as everyone digs into their food. You hear satisfied murmurings all around the table as seafood is devoured by everyone. Most never finish their plate as the portions are so generous. The waitress brings containers along with the check. There's always another expression of shock at how inexpensive the meal cost especially with the amount of food provided for the price. Most will be able to have another full meal with the leftovers they bring home with them. And for those staying with me for several weeks, if given the choice of something to do, they always ask for a return trip to Adam's!
When they depart from the farm and NC, they all leave with a wonderful impression this fantastic Southern cuisine, an extremely full tummy, and lasting memories of this delightful restaurant!
So, hit Adam's when you are hungry for some extremely tasty seafood!
