Hatteras Village

Annual Fish Fry

Each Saturday afternoon between Memorial Day and Labor Day, everyone is invited to a meal featuring the best fried trout, mackerel or blue fish that can be found on the island, depending on the catch that day. This has been a village tradition for almost 80 years. A large plate is $18 (cash) and includes two pieces of locally caught fish, southern potato salad, cole slaw, and hush puppies, with sweet or unsweet tea, and homemade desserts available for a donation. There is also a small plate available this year for $13.

The fish fry is held every Saturday at the Hatteras Fire Station from Memorial Day Weekend to Labor Day Weekend, from 5:00 p.m. until dinner is sold out.

This event is sponsored by the Ladies Fire Auxiliary and the proceeds go to help local organizations such as the Civic Association, local churches, and the food pantry

Fish Fry begins this year on Saturday, May 23, 2026 – 5:00 pm and is every Saturday except June 6, due to graduation.
