Bennettts Calabash Seafood

  Captain Bennettts Calabash Seafood is the only Calabash style restaurant that originated from the famous town of Calabash NC.
  The town of Calabash is a small village of Seafood restaurants clustered off the Calabash River. The restaurants specialize in seafood and prepared the old fashioned way.
  When Bennetts opened in 1985 it become the first ALL YOU CAN EAT seafood buffet. Serving succulent seafood, fried and broiled, Alaskan Snow Crab legs and items for non seafood lover. Steaming 400 thousand pounds of crab legs a year makes it the most popular on the over 100 item buffet.

Our authenic steaks

   Every person likes their steak cooked a different way. There are several different cuts of beef that will make a great steak, and there are also many grades of beef to consider. The choices include rump, scotch fillet, porterhouse, eye fillet and T-bone as the main premium cuts generally eaten.
   T-bone and porterhouse steaks are suited to fast, dry heat cooking methods. Due to their relative lack of collagen, longer cooking times are not necessary to tenderize the meat.
   Because of the temperature conduction properties of the bone, and the differences in the two cuts of meat, different parts of the steak will reach doneness at different times. The meat near the bone will cook more slowly than the rest of the steak, and the tenderloin will tend to reach the desired level of doneness before the strip.

We serve 400'000 lb of Crab Legs a year

   These giant Alaskan snow crab legs are well known for their sweet succulent flavor and snowy white meat. These legs are larger than your average crab legs. Being low in fat and calories yet high in protein.
   Snow crab is an excellent choice to include in a healthy diet. Our fresh Alaskan snow crab is the freshest, best tasting, most sought after, and healthiest crab that your money can buy. There is a reason why top chefs use snow crab from Alaska in their menus, and it’s because of the rich, tender taste, the elegance of the legs and claws.
  Compare that to a piece of chocolate, which probably has double or more the amount of calories. Or better yet, compare it to a serving of steak, which not only has a lot more calories, it also has a lot more fat content. A hamburger, for instance contains around 500 calories. Get the picture?

Prime rib (freh daily)

   Prime rib refers to the king of beef cuts, the standing rib roast, "standing" because to cook it, you simply position the roast on its rib bones in the roasting pan, no need for a rack. Prime rib steak is the most flavorful you will find.
   Our thick and hearty steaks are cut from U.S.D.A. Grade Choice Prime Rib Roasts, aged to ensure the richest and most luxurious flavor and the most tender steak money can buy.
   Please note, while our prime rib steaks are well-marbled with fat, they are the most delicious we offer. A magnificent gift!
    What would prime rib be without its classic accompaniments? Get it with the traditional horseradish sauce and red wine.

Seafood benefits

    Seafood averages less than 2% fat. For slimmers, seafood is all good news. All seafood is low in kilojoules, with fewer kilojoules than even the leanest meat or chicken. And of course with seafood you don't need to trim any fat. Just grill, barbecue, bake, steam, poach or microwave seafood to keep a low kilojoules count.
    Seafood is an excellent source of many important minerals, including iodine, zinc, potassium and phosphorus. It is also rich in many vitamins, especially the B group. Seafood is an excellent source of top quality protein, and compares favorably with meat and chicken. Cholesterol is an essential part of all living animal tissue. But levels of cholesterol can be too high if we eat too much saturated fat. Seafood has very little fat of any kind and what it does have is mostly unsaturated fat. Eating fish two or three times a week can reduce the risk of heart disease.

Mussels

    Mussels are slender black bivalve mollusks with a blue inner shell. They live attached to rocks and other hard surfaces along coastal areas in many parts of the world.
    There is archaeological evidence that humans have utilized mussels as a source of food for thousands of years. Nowadays marine mussels remain a popular seafood because hey are as delicious as they are nutritious.
    A study at Harvard University found them to contain virtually the same amount of protein as T-bone steak. A 6 oz portion of cooked blue mussels contains 40g of protein and only 294 calories. An equal portion of steak contains four times more calories and eighteen times more fat. The mussels are also rich in iron, manganese, phosphorous, selenium, zinc, vitamins C and B12 and more essential Omega-3 fatty acids than any other shellfish.
