Glass sponges are fragile, brittle, living animals with skeletons made of silica, the same material we use to make glass. Reefs, widespread during the age of dinosaurs, are now quite rare, & in fact, were long believed to have gone extinct 40 million years ago.

Discovered 2 great places for #seafood on the outer banks of North Carolina:
1. O'Neil's in #Wanchese
The catch of the day was sheepshead, a strange looking fish with teeth!
2. Po House, in #Avon
This is fine dining, compliments to their chef! The pan roasted catch of the day was #rockfish served with roasted potatoes, green beans and
chimichurri sauce. Awesome!
