    DURHAM, NORTH CAROLINA - Today we’re in Durham, North Carolina, and on our way to meet up with Chef Ricky Moore and eat at Saltbox Seafood Joint - where you can get some of the freshest and most honest seafood in North Carolina!
    Chef Ricky Moore is an amazing Chef with so much experience and with such a passion for serving fresh, local, and ethical seafood, supporting individuals. At his restaurant in Durham, North Carolina - Saltbox Seafood Joint - that’s exactly what he does. Chef Ricky was nice enough to meet us and show us around the kitchen and explain what he does. We also had a chance to see hime fillet some of the fresh fish of the day. One of the best fish he cooks is Red Drum, the state fish of North Carolina and as local as you can get.
    I fully enjoyed the delicious and honesty of the food at Saltbox Seafood Joint. It was an honor to get a background of information from Chef Ricky and the process and ideas that go into his cooking. Highly recommended, must eat when you’re in Durham or Raleigh, North Carolina.

    Ok, so i went to the saltbox today after seeing this video pop up!! I had the catfish plate. The serving size was about double what you would normally expect at a restaurant! We got a side of hush honeys which are standard hush puppies doused in honey. They are Amazing!
    The real star for me tho was the "chowda". I have 40 years experience in Chowder and I can say today I had the best Chowda of my LIFE!
    It was piping hot which is good, but i got an immediate butter taste like when you dunk lobster in butter. I let it cool down a bit and ad I sipped it I noticed less butter but more lobster flavor. As I dove in with my fork, I saw not a single potato like in Campbell's cans, but this was full of herbs, butter, and massive chunks or clams and fish! It was 15/10 I told the staff 3x I came here from 3 hours away because of this video andnwas blown away by the quality! Wish I could come back sooner for real!

    The food looked absolutely AMAZING, and I loved how Chef Ricky shared some history of the building and his purchase. My Lord, my next trip will be NC. I've been to Ashville, but no Durham or Wilmington, but both are now on my must experience list.

    Once again Mark your videos never disappoint. Food looks great. Next time go out to the Outer Banks and get down with the Eastern Carolina Seafood. Blue crabs, shrimp, and the fish!

    Wow Eric I didn't know he was up for that very prestigious award. You know he's good. All the food he cooked. Everything on that takeout plate was awesome. The Way Chef Ricky grilled the fish on cast iron skillet only way to get grilled flavor. The light breading on all seafood made it crunchy and more golden. Shrimp my favorite I couldn't get enough of them. But the soup with corn, artichoke hearts, pickled green beans YUM. With every seafood item caught fresh how can you not LOVE IT. Tamalesmust have been amazing😋

    I loved how deep Chef Ricky's thoughts go----for example referring to the fisher folk ---men and women! He was lovely to listen to and clearly super intelligent! That fish looked delish too. Great vlog!

    This is probably the first time I've ever seen you not get the opportunity to talk through the cooking process! Chef Rick eloquently and passionately said it all! Noticed how the work surface in the kitchen was spotlessly clean! Nice one!

      I’ve never had a badly cooked meal there. The only inconsistency may be portion size.

    Mark: absolutely loving your recent NC travels. I grew up in Eastern NC and your videos have truly embodied what this region is all about.
    If you ever get the chance, you need to experience the cooking process and taste of a true North Carolina Fish Stew!
