Kill Devil Hills Best crab legs?

This week, we will going there! We went to Dirty Dicks and Jimmys. They were so awful and overcooked crab legs. I’m a crab legs lover. I always loved to make sure I can break legs and get meat out easily. Mango in smith mountain lake Va was so perfect crab legs and worth price to eat! So shoot here and let me know! Thanks

Imagine going to the Outer Banks and spending $35 on seafood that was caught 4,500 miles away

All crab legs come from the same distributors.... they are caught and cooked in Alaska, flash frozen and shipped across the world.

Get them frozen from Food Lion and diy it.

If you are up to it, buy your own and cook them. Its so easy! Put the frozen clustesr on a baking sheet in a 425 degree oven for 20 minutes.

People are going to dump on you with the “why not eat local seafood”, but do your thing! Black Pelican has been really consistent unless it’s the end of the shift.

Jimmy’s is normally solid, you just have to grab them when you first come out. And mangos is always good 😂
