Description: Sister restaurant to the popular Fishbones Raw Bar & Restaurant, Fishbones Sunset Grille and Raw Bar has become another favorite Duck dining spot. The restaurant sits by the Currituck Sound and is the village’s prime sunset-watching spot. It is patterned after the older Fishbones, with Caribbean-influenced entrees and appetizers, moderately priced food, a fun atmosphere, and good service for locals and visitors alike.Fishbones Sunset is known for its extensive drink menu. Specialty drinks are served in novelty vessels, like a tiki god, a monkey, or a pineapple. The full bar list is available upstairs at a stunning horseshoe-shaped bar covered with coral tiles, downstairs at another bar and raw bar, and outside at a tiki bar. Meals are served upstairs or down or outside on the deck. Dinners focus mostly on seafood, and the blackened fish and conch fritters are standouts. The raw bar serves all the freshest Outer Banks favorites. For lunch, seafood, sandwiches, and burgers are served. Lunch and dinner are served every day year-round. Fishbones Sunset also offers breakfast, daily in season and on weekends in the off-season. Breakfast choices include omelets, skillet dishes, smoked salmon bagels, and a wonderful cinnamon french toast served with a guava-banana syrup. Lunch and dinner entrees are equally outstanding, with a wide range of chowders, freshest fish, sandwiches, and steaks. It is a popular nighttime hangout, with live music four or five nights a week in the summer and one or two nights in the off-season. Fishbones Sunset offers catering and site rental for weddings and large parties.
