People People, have we not learned anything from all the postive feedback on Mariner's Cove on Morrene Rd, just off all the major highways, in Durham? ;) I swear I don't work for them, but man o man- really some of the best calabash style around-though I tend to get everything broiled so I can actually TASTE the freshest seafood around-and for those of us trying to be fiscally responsible-well, it's cheap as they come! Larry, the owner, is genuinely friendly and cares what the customers think. He used to be an owner of Landlubber's and now just runs this along with a number of seafood markets from where he gets his daily supply! Go there and forget about anyhere else! Get yourself some sweet tea and even sweeter hush puppies while you wait for not too long for a huge portion of whatever! Enjoy!
