Wow, that's a really neat story! Thank you for sharing how your aunt was married to Mr. Callahan himself. I absolutely love going in that store. They have just about everything!

I love Callahan’s. On our annual trip to Oak Island we have to go to Calahan’s. For the past 2 years I buy my little dog a ball that lights up. Oh how she loves those balls.

@donnawhitfield6820 Yes, that is a great store. They have a little bit of everything. We'll have to look for those dog balls.

Hope you get to visit again. Thanks for watching, and glad it brought back memories for you.

Have you ever visited the fields of the wood in Cherokee, North Carolina? It’s the 10 Commandments that are down in the grass on the mountain side, beautiful.

@@lindawiley878 That is actually down in Murphy, about 56 miles from Cherokee. No, we have not been there yet, but hopefully sometime in the future. I've seen pictures, and it does look very nice.

You're very welcome!

Yes, we enjoy it, too. Thanks for watching!

Well, thank you so much for that nice comment. We are glad you enjoy the channel, and we truly appreciate you saying that.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Yes, we love Calabash and the food there!

Thank y'all so much for watching! And yes, tartar sauce definitely goes on hush puppies.

Thanks for watching!

Yes, it is very good. Calabash style is our favorite! Thanks for watching!

You are very welcome! We appreciate you watching, and are glad you enjoyed it!

Yes, very nice place.

Yes, absolutely. We enjoy going there.

Thank you so much! We appreciate you watching, and glad you enjoyed the video.

Hope you enjoy it! Let us know where you eat and how you like it. There are several great options in Calabash.

Yes, great dining atmosphere.

Thank you!

Yes, that shirt made her look so bright, I couldn't hardly look at her. It was like staring into the sun. But yeah, she's pretty proud of her Calabash shirt.

We hope you do, too. I know you would love to be able to see your friends. They live in a very beautiful area with a lot of great restaurants

Yes, and about the drinks, I noticed after we did the video, that the menu price of drinks is not what we were charged. One of my pet peeves, is a restaurant going up on price and charging the new price for the old price is still on the menu. If I had noticed that then, I would have mentioned it. But yes, the food there is really good. And we have two videos from the Boundary House. That would certainly be a great place to do a dinner for the renewal of your vows. Very nice restaurant.

@@NCMemoryMakers agree and sounds great. enjoy

Yes, we love going there. Glad you got to try it.

Good food, and nice dining atmosphere.

There you go! The best of both worlds.

We have actually talked about going there. We're not overlooking it. We have priced their menu, and they are through the roof expensive. We would love to go for lunch, but they're only open for supper. In fact, we had actually thrown around the idea of going for lunch this past weekend when we were there, and that's when we discovered they weren't open for lunch. And we were kind of hungry at that point, and wanting seafood. We probably will go at some point, however. It is something we've talked about. Thank you for watching, and we are glad you enjoy the channel. We appreciate it.

​@@NCMemoryMakers It is expensive however, it is amazing. Sort of a special occasion place and the service is great.

@@griffinjackson7334 I'm sure we will get around to it. We have mentioned it several times. Just didn't want you to think that we weren't aware of it. Like I said, we actually were going to go for lunch this past trip, only to find out they are not open till that evening. It does look very nice, from the pictures we've seen.

Yes! I meant to get back to you on that. So, I hope we got the same thing that you were talking about. It's called baked potato salad. We got a plastic container of it, and had it Wednesday evening for supper, along with some ribeye steaks we had purchased at Publix on our way out. It was very different than regular potato salad, but very good. It seemed like it had a lot of different seasonings or herbs in it. We really liked it, and would definitely get it again. Thank you for recommending it. It doesn't look to us like Ella's is going to be rebuilding. Even the sign they had up saying they were, is now gone. We can't tell that anything has been done with the building.

@@NCMemoryMakers glad y’all liked the baked potato salad. It is our favorite one to buy. We also enjoy the traditional one we make at home. So sad about Ella’s. I am sure if they don’t rebuild someone else will if they sell the property.

@monicamoore111 Yes, we are sad about it. I have not officially heard they're not going to, but I just know that nothing has been done in the 2 years since it's burned. We had an annual tradition of going there, for about the last 7 or 8 years.

About the only place I know of now where you can pull out the backbone, is at Hoskin's Restaurant in N. Myrtle. You have to order the WHOLE flounder in order to do it.

No, I honestly can't say that I recall that. How long ago was it there?

Well, it was over 30 years ago when my in-laws lived there. The restaurant has probably been closed at least 15 years.

@@keitheverhart9556 I wish I could remember it. Was it near Bolineau's, in that area?

Yes, Captain's Plank was a great place to eat. I remember eating there in the early 2000's. Even had soft served ice cream.

@@RonCorridor I'm just trying to place where it was at. We've been going to that area for many years, but I just can't place it.

Google "Seafood capital of the world", and let me know which one comes up.

Nothing has been done with Ella's. The building is still standing, but still burned. The sign that says they are going to rebuild, is now gone. I don't think it looks like they're going to.

The bones were very small in the trout, but it was still more than you would find in flounder.

I've always heard Calabash called "The Seafood Capital of the World" but just for fun, I Googled the question. The answer? Calabash, NC. 😊

Go ahead and Google "What is the seafood capital of the world?", and tell me what comes up. That's not something that I made up or put in the title as clickbait. We did not give the town that name. That is what the town is called. I wouldn't have put it in there otherwise. And it's not just a "random place in North Carolina". It is a coastal town that is known for its excellent fishing and style of frying seafood. And also, the vast number of seafood restaurants to be condensed into such a small area. That's not saying there are not other good places in the world for fishing. That's just telling you what the nickname of this town is, and has been. I guess I'm a little surprised you say you haven't heard of it, when two KZfaq channels that you watch quite a bit, have both done recent videos in Calabash. Somewhere has to be the seafood capital of the world. Why not a coastal town in North Carolina?

Quick google search confirms what they said. Calabash, NC THE SEAFOOD CAPITAL OF THE WORLD If you've ever enjoyed the delicious flavor of lightly breaded and fried seafood, you already know a little about what makes Calabash, NC famous.

@@user-hg4hj5bl8nThat is correct. Thank you!

@user-hg4hj5bl8n Before I put that in the title, I even checked myself, to make sure it wasn't "Seafood Capital Of the US". I was thinking it said "world", but I wanted to make sure that I didn't put something inaccurate. But like you said, a 15-second Google search would have given the answer.

Well, we didn't feed the birds, because the sign clearly asked us not to. But I'm pretty sure he helped himself to what was left on her plate as we left.
