Outer Banks Soft-Shell Crab Week

Kick off soft-shell crab season with a restaurant and seafood market crawl on the Outer Banks. Caught soon after molting, these culinary delicacies have softer textures and can be eaten without removing the shell. Participating establishments will prepare their best appetizers, sandwiches, dinners and more for you to enjoy, just steps from the source—the waters of the OBX. You won’t want to miss this crustacean celebration.
