Colerain's Famous Seagull Cafe Spring Season Starts Wednesday

The Seagull Cafe will open this week for its traditional Spring Season, Wednesday, March 7th. The hours of operation are (as usual) from 11:00 AM until 2:00 PM. The Seagull is only open on Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays. I got an email from Mike Perry today, announcing that they got their first shipment of fresh herring from South Carolina. I went by his house to check out what was happening and he was really excited about the quality of the catch.

The Seagull Cafe is a favorite place for farmers and workers in the area, as it has been for many years. It is famous, and there are a couple of rich developers who always fly in on their helicopters to eat every year. Now that is an endorsement, when someone flys in from Virginia to eat at a place this far off the beaten trail.

The view from the Seagull shows the Chowan River at its best. The small Cafe is located by the river near the end of River Road, close to the Colerain Beach Club.

The Seagull Is Not Open For Sunrise, But The View Then Is Also Spectacular!


The herring is prepared incredibly and they make the most delicious shrimp you will ever taste. The cooks are simply the best.
