TryFried fish plate with Hush-Honeys
The Saltbox fried fish plate changes with what NC coastal fisheries have available: catfish, mullet, flounder, spots and croaker rotate through the menu by season and by catch. Ricky Moore's achievement is making the fish-camp tradition legible to a national audience while maintaining its honest working-class character. The fish is hand-battered to order, fried in a clean oil at the right temperature, and served with slaw, the house hot sauce and the option to add Hush-Honeys. At $14-22, it is the best value-per-quality meal in Durham.
