Norman's Shrimp — Local services in Bogue Banks

I loved this place. It's not fancy, but it's fresh.

They are inside, with fresh shrimp, ready to sell. Ready to be enjoyed.

We chose the cleaned shrimp. It came in a quart sized ziploc bag. I love it.

Want to know why? That means a human took care of my fresh catch. That means that someone cared to do it correctly. That means, more then likely, this place is someone's labor of love.

There were some other offerings, beside shrimp. Crab cakes (frozen) and maybe some other fresh catches. Honestly, by the time we got there, lots was already sold out.

I HIGHLY recommend the Key Lime pie. We drove it back to New Jersey in a cooler, and it was still better then most I've had in restaurants.

Eat local. Spend your money on people who care what...

We only recently discovered the key lime pies ($16) Paula makes them with real key lime juice. And boy can you tell the difference. This is the best keylime pie I've had outside of Key Largo. Best on the island here. (The pics are...

Th fresh shrimp worked out better than the frozen from the local pier and bait shops. Thanks Norman you made our vacation a...
