Well my parents had been telling me about this place in Emerald Isle they frequently eat dinner at. Its called Chowdaheads and is right next to the Willis Seafood Market on Emerald Isle drive. Mom and dad ranted and raved about how good the fish tacos were at Chowdaheads. So I had to see for myself.
Of course the first time I tried to try them out was Labor Day weekend. Needless to say Chowdaheads was packed. Not even a parking spot available for me. A couple weeks ago I was down at the beach and it wasn’t lunch time or dinner time, it was in between those, so I figured I would be able to get in there.
All I can really say is WOW! I’m glad I made it to Chowdaheads. It’s one of my favorite Emerald Isle Restaurants now. My parents were right as usual. The fish tacos were off the chain. The service was outstanding. They make their own chips that are really good as well. Another bonus is the fact they even have Tobasco sauce!
I made it back about a week later for another round of tacos and took them to go so I could eat at the beach. They were just as good as the first time. This time I even sprung for desert a multi layer fudge/caramel cake. My only disappointment was the good looking gal my dad told me about wasn’t there either time I visited.
So if you find yourself in Emerald Isle and your stomach starts growling, be sure to check out Chowdaheads for lunch or dinner. Beware though, in the off-season many local restaurants operate on a limited schedule. I give this restaurant two thumbs up.
