Family Ties - Commercial Fishing on the Outer Banks of North Carolina

Hatteras native and 5th generation fisherman Michael Oden Peele shares his story of teaching his nephew, Wyatt Kennedy, the in's and out's of commercial fishing. The Outer Banks is home to a multi-generational community of commercial fishing families who earn their living bringing the freshest and healthiest seafood to your plate. Like Michael says "Just because you have a boat and net, doesn't mean you're a fisherman"
Our local fishermen are facing tough challenges including the increasing cost of fuel, increasing regulations, and competition from low quality foreign imports. Did you know that 92% of seafood served nationally is imported and less than 2% is inspected by the FDA? You deserve nothing less than the freshest, healthiest seafood available. That's why you should ask for Outer Banks Catch by name at restaurants, grocery stores, and seafood markets.
