Allergen & Food Safety Information
We're a fried-seafood kitchen. Here's an honest look at allergens and food safety so you can order with the facts.
Please note: This page is a starting template. It must be reviewed and finalized by the restaurant's owner before the website launches.

An honest allergen notice
Our kitchen prepares and fries seafood and shellfish, and we use shared fryers and shared cooking equipment, surfaces, and utensils. Because of this, cross-contact between foods is possible, and we cannot guarantee that any item is free of a specific allergen — even dishes that don't list that ingredient. If you have a food allergy or sensitivity, please read this page and talk with us before you order.
Common allergens present in our kitchen
Allergens that are commonly present in a fried-seafood kitchen like ours include:
- Fish (such as flounder)
- Shellfish — both crustaceans (such as shrimp and crab) and mollusks (such as oysters, scallops, and clams)
- Wheat (breading, batter, and hushpuppies)
- Egg
- Milk
- Soy (including frying oil in some cases)
The list above is typical for a fried-seafood kitchen and is provided as a general guide. Please confirm the specifics for any dish with our staff — the confirmed, item-by-item allergen details are [pending] owner review.
Raw or undercooked items
Some items may be served raw or undercooked, or cooked to order. Consuming raw or undercooked meats, poultry, seafood, shellfish, or eggs may increase your risk of foodborne illness, especially if you have certain medical conditions.
No allergen-free or gluten-free guarantees
Because of shared fryers and equipment, we do not offer gluten-free, allergen-free, or "free-from" guarantees. Even when an item does not intentionally contain a particular allergen, we cannot promise it is free of trace amounts from cross-contact.
Please talk to us before ordering
If you have a food allergy or intolerance, please tell our staff before you order. Let us know what you need to avoid so we can share what we honestly know about our ingredients and preparation, and you can decide what's right for you.
We can't make medical recommendations
Our team can share ingredient and preparation information, but we are not able to give medical advice or make decisions about your health. If you have questions about your specific dietary or medical needs, please consult a qualified healthcare professional.
When in doubt, call (910) 579-6723 and speak with us before you order. We're glad to talk through it with you.
