Michael's Seafood

If you are ever looking for a full belly while frolicking about on Pleasure Island, boy do I have the place for you. Michael’s Seafood, located just over the bridge on Lake Park Blvd, is the home to the World’s Best Chowder." No way Josie", you say. I don't lie about chowder. Michael’s Chowder won the International Seafood Chowder Champion title in 2009, 2010 and 2011 which is held right here on Carolina Beach and let me be one to say that it is an honor that is well deserved. Michael’s Chowder is now also available at Harris Teeter but there is no better place to enjoy this than in the friendly, warm atmosphere of Michael’s Seafood Restaurant. The chowder is always perfect and the menu has a wide variety of food that could easily accommodate the most finicky of diners. Personally, I always choose the chowder. Since we’ve all gotten to know each other a little better I’m going to let you in on a little secret of mine. Ask the server for Sriracha sauce. All you need to do is plop a few drops on top of your chowder and top it off with an oyster cracker or two. Dive in and hang on, because your mouth is about to go on a spicy seafood adventure full of clams, scallops, crabs, cream, with every bite. more delicious than the last. I need to add that the service there is always top notch. The staff is knowledgeable and will stop at nothing to see that you have enjoyed your visit. If you are not in the mood to dine in, Michael’s will fill you up with as much hot, fresh chowder as your strong arms can carry. I understand. I love to watch the sunset on my back porch on a cool evening while savoring a bowl of Michael’s Seafood Chowder. Michael’s Seafood Chowder is but just one ingredient to the “Pleasure Island Stew” that is truly one of a kind. To top it off, the beach is only a short bike ride away. Take a stroll and when you’re ready for dessert to fill in the cracks, stop by Britt's famous donuts. The best donuts one could imagine. These things are the bee's knee's. So come on down, enjoy a day on the island. It will be an experience like no other. Shandahhhh!!
