It’s not the tropics, but Hatteras restaurants bring tastes of those islands to this one with their seafood specialties, flavorful spices and festive interiors. Head to upscale places for fusions of Gulf and Caribbean fare with American classics. There are also funky cafes and tiki bars with bright, beach-themed interiors that transport diners to the Bahamas. Dig into fish tacos, conch fritters or shrimp-topped pasta, and don’t forget to finish it off with an umbrella-decked, colorful cocktail.
