Food scene
On Saturdays this summer, the fire department hosts a Fish Fry. This has been a tradition since 1955. It is a quintessential Hatteras Island meal and definitely worth a visit if you are in town on Saturday. I recommend getting there right when they open as there is usually a line and they will sell out.
