What a week! We had Shrimpgate in the house this past weekend. On Sunday, we stopped in Kenly at Scott Brother Farms to see how sweet potatoes are cured and kept. We brought home some more of those delicious potatoes. William has been poundnetting, so a whole post is coming about that, and we have some new chairs in the house. Come See us.

From the pound net to your plate, we've waited all summer to serve fresh pound net flounder, and it is finally happening!! My crowd was always excited for the first blow from the northerd this time of year, and we have certainly had a blow this week. There is a lot of time and money getting pound nets ready, and we are PROUD to serve these fish! Come to Atlantic this weekend and avoid the crowds. Besides fresh flounder, we are serving our fabulous prime rib with all its aujusness, camp fries, fresh jumbo lump crab cakes, crab dip, stuffed soft crabs, and fresh Wanchese tuna and green tail shrimp. The food and view will not disappoint and you will not have to fight the traffic or crowds at the end of the road! We also have Oyster Nipper beer and we've been waiting all season for it! So many good things come out of the water in the fall! #poundnet #ncflounder #nccrab #ncshrimp #nctuna #wildwills #atlantic #fromthepoundtothetable #seatotable #nccatch #coresounders #atlanticrv #shrimpgatecocktail #wwchocolatecake #nccatch #scottbrotherfarmssweetpotatoes #yellowbutterfly #barbiecoresoundcosmo #oysternipperbeer #trophybrewing #trophywife 🦐❤️🐟🧅🍷🍠🥩🍤🍸🍰🍉🍺🐟

I’m not sure what everyone else is doing, but William made a run to Raleigh, and look here. Trophy Brewing in the house! We have been waiting all year for this!! #trophybrewing #coresounders #oysternipper #atlantic #wildwills #atlanticrv #shrimpgatecocktail #smokeyandthebandit

Do you know where your shrimp come from? We do, and it's not off the back of a food truck and doesn't come from Ecuador. They come out of those beautiful nets from the stern of a trawler. If they don't come out of a fish basket, you may want to pass on that shrimp burger or shrimp plate. Wild Will prides itself on serving the best Prime Rib, fresh local green tails stuffed with jumbo lump crabmeat, and stuffed South River soft crabs. Hopefully, we will be celebrating poundnet flounder next week. Stay away storms, we don't need them to destroy this very short season. 🤞🐟❤️🦐🦀🥩🥃🍰🍹🍸🍠🥟🇺🇸🚤 #coresounders #atlantic #wildwills #seatotable #atlanticrv #grandmamajanicespineapplecoconutcake #seatotable #nccatch #ncshrimp #shrimpgate #shrimpgatecocktail #yellowbutterflycocktail

What a beautiful day in the neighborhood. It doesn't get much prettier than this. We all love a good seafood diet, and we have the best, most local seafood waiting for you! NC green tail shrimp, Nantucket Sea scallops, South River softcrabs, and fresh jumbo lump crab cakes. I almost forgot the best sweet potatoes from Scott Brothers Farm; they melt in your mouth. Shrimp your way, mimosas your way. Wild Will’s prime rib and crab dip, a Leck's Lump, yellow butterfly, or the famous Shrimpgate cocktail to wet your whistle! We almost forgot the homemade desserts!

All is well at Wild Will’s, the shrimp people have shrimp! Beautiful Greentails for fried, beer boiled, and stuffing. I’m not sure, ten years ago we thought our world would revolve around the availability of shrimp, flounder, soft crabs, crabmeat, and sea scallops. Life is much harder when you’re chasing the best of the best to serve and not serving imported seafood from Ecuador, Mexico, and China off the truck. By the way, we have fresh ocean flounder caught off Nantucket this weekend too. New flounder shirts are in production, so get ready. We can’t wait to celebrate pound net fish! #atlantic #wildwills #smithkitchen #coresounders #atlanticrv #seatotable #wearetheshrimppeople #yellowbutterfly #shrimpgatecocktail #seatotable #ncshrimp #nccrab 🦐❤️🐟🍷🍰🥩🦀🎂🍉🍤🍸🚤🇺🇸🍍

We will be closed September 4, 5, and 6! After a fabulous summer, we are going to take the weekend off for a family obligation and give our crew a break after a successful season in Atlantic. Don’t worry, we will be back September 11th with bingo on the porch and a Thursday night dinner special. We hope you will join us. Thanks for making this summer season great!

Thank you again! 🦐❤️🐟🎂🇺🇸🍤🍸🍰🍹🦀🥩🍷#wildwillsrevenge #coresounders #familyfirst #atlantic #ncshrimp #shrimpgate #atlanticrv#goodseafoodisntcheap #cheapseafoodisntgood

It's been a beautiful week on Core Sound, and if you look hard in the first picture, you will see a yellow butterfly. So I saw some on Monday in Atlantic and at the banks. The first picture is at Old Drum Inlet. We hauled a lot of stuff up that path to our camp when the tide was low. Uncle Monnie kept his houseboat in there, and Monday, there was plenty of water for one. We saw some yellow butterflies today, in the sound, and if you know, you know. Last weekend, William minced drum for family meal, and it didn't disappoint. This weekend is WW prime rib, sea scallops out of the cloth bag, Wanchese tuna, South River soft crabs, fresh jumbo lump crabmeat, and Pamlico Sound shrimp. We pride ourselves on serving the seafood we grew up on! Come see us this weekend. We are open Thursday, Friday, and Saturday at 5pm. We will be closed next weekend, September 4-6, due to a family obligation. So come this weekend and get your fix, or come September 11th! Thanks for understanding family first! #coresounders #atlantic #shrimpgate #yellowbutterfly #ncshrimp #wanchesetuna #familyfirst #nccrab #seascallops #yellowbutterflycocktail #shrimpgatecocktail #grandmamajanicespineapplecoconutcake #atlanticrv 🦐❤️🐟🎂🎉🍷🦀🍹🍰🥩🍸🥃🚤🇺🇸

So, there is absolutely no Walmart shrimp or any imported or pressure-washed shrimp at Wild Will’s. I cringed when I saw these a few months ago at an event… come see us this weekend for Pamlico Sound shrimp, scallops out of the cloth bag, fresh Wanchese tuna, and our Wild Will’s prime rib. #wildwills #atlantic #seatotable #smithkitchen #atlanticrv #ncshrimp #scallopsouttheclothbag #wanchesetuna #coresounders 🐟❤️🦐🦀🍹🎂🍤🥩🍷🧅🇺🇸🚤

We will be closed Thursday night to keep our staff and customers safe. Please join us on Friday and Saturday at 5pm. We ran out of prime rib on Saturday, so we will be cooking extra this weekend. Sorry for the inconvenience. #coresounders #wildwills #atlantic #seatotable #shrimpgatecocktail #cookedtoorder #freshisthebest #supportyourcommercialfisherman 🐟🦐🍤🥩🍹🦀🎂🍸🍷🚤🇺🇸

Summer has flown by, from a wedding, to Shrimpgate, to July 4th, to Nantucket, to Deb parties, it's time for Larrington the Wild Will’s Queen to head back to Raleigh. We are a bit sad, but we know she can't stay away from Core Sound and her people for too long. Here are a few pictures from her jam-packed summer. She's working Thursday and Friday night, so come wish her another successful year with the Wolfpack! #coresounders #wildwills #ncsu #wolfpack #atlantic #tsitp #deb #atlanticrv

Look what has arrived! Our first run of shrimp shirts was way before #shrimpgate because we sell a lot of shrimp!

Who's ready to kick back and celebrate America and all that “We The People” can stand up for? We are glad we live in a republic and that voices still matter.

We are back at it after the crazy long week in Raleigh. Shrimpgate is over, but unfortunately, it is not entirely gone. I met some of the best people over the last few days, people who knew my parents and grandparents from Pamlico County and other coastal counties. Also saw some of our Hyde County friends, and we talked about Mattamusket onions and lo and behold, guess what showed up at Wild Will’s yesterday? Those onions, so we will be serving whole baked Mattamusket onions this weekend along with North Carolina Shrimp, Prime Rib, and fresh jumbo lump crab cakes. Our new Shrimpgate cocktail is really smooth. If you're looking for sharks, we might have seen a few of those in Raleigh. We have Narragansett beer in the house this week! #coresounders #shrimpgate #wildwills #narrgansettbeer #wwprimerib #ncshrimp #atlantic #seatotable #realshrimp

Shrimpgate is over. What a relief and a victory.

NC shrimp will be back on the menu at Wild Will’s this weekend, and we just might celebrate with a shrimp-themed cocktail. After a whirlwind week, we’re taking a breath and holding our heads high.

As a proud Coresounder, Down East’er, and North Carolinian, I’ve never been prouder of my people. Commercial fishermen, their families, and supporters across the coast stood up, loud, and united

If I’ve aggravated you this past week, I’m sorry. But some of our friends were in the fight of their lives—and so was North Carolina’s seafood industry. We weren’t just defending shrimp. We were defending heritage, jobs, and a way of life.

There are too many people to thank individually—and we don’t want to leave anyone out—but we’re especially grateful to our friends in the NC House and Senate, those in DC, and leaders on both sides of the aisle who listened and stood with us.

We met some incredible people this week. We saw the good, the bad and the ugly. We've learned quite a bit , and are fine not going back to Raleigh anytime soon.

There’s room for everyone to fish. The seafood community wasn’t against the bill—until that last-minute amendment to ban trawling.

We still believe in facts. We still believe in science. And we hope the long-promised study will prove what we’ve said all along: we are responsible stewards of the sounds.

Thank you to Rep. Bobby Hanig, Rep. Celeste Cairns, and every coastal representative who stood tall when it counted.

Shrimpgate is over. But the fight for our coast never is.
