Catch Wilmington

Catch Wilmington

Keith Rhodes opened Catch restaurant in 2006 in the town of Wilmington, North Carolina. He hoped to share his passion for seafood with the locals by combining seafood grown locally with a highlight of seasonal flavors ranging from sweet potatoes to blackberries. And at the same time, supporting local fisheries practice sustainability.

Chef Keith Rhodes

The name Keith Rhodes should ring a few bells to the locals. As he was nominated by the James Beard Foundation for the best southeast chef. He was also voted as the city’s best chef for three consecutive years and participated in Bravo’s season 9 of ‘Top Chef.’

Rhodes and his partner Angela have also committed to a cause of serving the best ingredients in their restaurants, to best help the local seafood market. He’s also part of an outreach program that helps local children and mentors aspiring chefs.

Location

You can find Catch restaurant in Market Street Heights strip mall. Located on Market Street and Sarah Circle right across the street from Wilmington Auto Wholesale, a used car dealer shop.

Wilmington, North Carolina is a port city and the county seat of New Hanover County. It has a small population of around one-hundred thousand people and is the eighth-most populated city in the state of North Carolina. Being surrounded by both fresh and saltwater, it’s a common area for avid fishermen.

Catch restaurant can be seen in the press of Edible magazine. Preferably in Edible Brooklyn and Manhattan, where it explains in detail what Keith Rhodes has accomplished since the opening of his restaurant.

Things to Do in Wilmington

Wilmington is surrounded by various activities and sights for all. Whether you have a love for art or science. You should check out the Cape Fear Museum of History and Science, or perhaps the Cameron Museum for Art.

If you love the beach during the summer, then it’s recommended that you visit Carolina beach. Where your family can admire the boardwalk or take some time out to fish or celebrate the numerous events they have there.

After getting accepted to ECU, I started looking for things to do in and around Greenville, NC. However, my searches kept taking me to places in South Carolina! There must be things to do around ECU, so I started asking other students. They kept telling me to graduate and move away! This inspired me to begin exploring eastern North Carolina and build this website as a showcase of the places to go, sights to see, and things to do all over eastern NC. I have fallen in love with this region and started taking up roots here. After graduating, I didn't move away - I bought a house here and continue to explore eastern North Carolina.
