Few things capture the country’s Southeastern coast like a classic low-country boil. The traditional meal comes together with ease (and whenever the craving strikes) with the help of the Outer Banks Boil Company. They specialize in crafting the ultimate steamer pot to make any dream of hosting your very own low-country boil come true. With the essentials of jumbo shrimp, Andouille sausage shipped from Louisiana, potatoes, corn on the cob and onions steamed together in a massive pot, diners can keep it classic or customize it however they wish with the addition of snow crab legs, clams, mussels or lobster tails. Don’t want seafood? That’s okay too. Pick up an order of pulled pork barbecue, coleslaw and cornbread. Swing by their Hatteras, Kitty Hawk, Corolla location to pick up your pot to go. If you’d prefer to have the boil come to you, Outer Banks Boil Company also offers catering from the four-wheel-drive beaches in the north to as far south as Hatteras. They bring the food and the appropriate tables, that they set up at your home or chosen venue. Pile tasty fare upon the tables, and the rest is up to you.
