Oceanfront dining is always a thrill for Cape Fear visitors, and the Flying Fish Café is a favorite spot on Oak Island for visitors to feast on coastally-inspired creations while enjoying a lovely on-the-sand view. With both traditional and more unique options for lunch and dinner, and a prime oceanfront locale along the appropriately named Ocean Drive, diners can relax in the sun or the shade while feasting on one of the seafood classics that the Cape Fear region is known for.
Each mealtime has its own distinctive and eye-catching menu items that perfectly compliment the outlying vista of the sand dunes, shoreline, and Atlantic Ocean. For lunch, patrons can chow down on seafood favorites like the fish tacos with blackened Mahi, or the fried shrimp basket, or can sample something more American like the grilled cheese with brie, bacon, and pears, or a Gorgonzola Cheeseburger. Dinnertime patrons will have equally enticing options, like pan seared scallops or sesame seared Yellowfin Tuna, as well as a more unique selection of quesadillas, crab corn cakes, and bourbon and soy-glazed salmon on rice and spinach. Best suited for seafood lovers, Flying Fish Café takes a creative spin on Low Country cuisine while boasting plenty of views for water-loving patrons.
