Book excerpt: This is a facsimile reproduction of a nearly forgotten little cookbook that epitomizes the spirit of the North Carolina's Outer Banks and evokes a name that is legendary there: Chicamacomico.Chicamacomico Cookery was a collection of unique local family recipes contributed by 43 residents of Rodanthe, Waves and no doubt other parts of the barrier island that extends north from Cape Hatteras. It was originally published in the 1960s or early 70s by the Ladies Auxiliary of the Chicamacomico Banks Volunteer Fire Department in the tiny town of Rodanthe, on the North Carolina Outer Banks.The recipes here reflect the lives of the people who live on an isolated barrier island between the huge Pamlico Sound and an unpredictable and stormy ocean historically known as the "graveyard of the Atlantic." Fully one fourth of the 187 recipes call for fish or shell fish that are commonly caught in nearby waters.
