If the name wasn't colorful enough, head to Amos Mosquito's Swampside Cafe on Atlantic Beach for a dine-in experience that is sure to add a few more shades. Set in a roadside shack with marsh-like decor, this low-key, fine-dining locale fixes a menu of Cajun Remoulade, lump crab cakes with roasted corn and scallions and "The Big Skeeter" plate of three fried local catches.

Amos Mosquito's featured family business in Carteret County.

Owned by husband and wife team, their goal is to make their dishes affordable while serving fresh local seafood.
