This magical outdoor candle light dinner held the 2nd Saturday of October each year from 6-10pm on the beautiful grounds of Fort Defiance is a community favorite featuring a mouth watering fried fish and steamed oyster dinner.

The $50 Choice ticket is what most people get and it guarantees you will get a fried flounder fish plate with hush puppies, onion rings, French fries and coleslaw. Plus you�ll be served a heaping helping of Brunswick stew from the cast iron pot over the cook fire. You�ll also get a homemade dessert, 2 drink tickets (beer & wine included) and a bucket of perfectly steamed oysters (approx. 2 & � dozen).

Not an oyster fan? Then we have a $25 basic ticket for you. With this ticket you will get a fried flounder fish plate with hush puppies, onion rings, French fries and coleslaw. Plus you�ll be served a heaping helping of Brunswick stew from the cast iron pot over the cook fire. You�ll also get a homemade dessert and 2 drink tickets (beer & wine included). No oysters on this one.

With either of these choices you can add an additional bucket of oysters (approx. 2 & � dozen) for $25 and you can buy additional drink tickets for $5 each.

If you are one of those folks who can eat your weight in oysters you should consider the $100 VIP ticket which gets you the fried flounder fish plates with all the trimmings, plus the Brunswick stew, dessert, along with unlimited oysters and drinks.

Seating is first come first serve unless you reserve a table of 8 people. There is a $10 reservation fee
