Superior taste & selection
Nothing compares to enjoying fish fresh off the boat. Seafood in season has a better taste, texture, and is usually a better value. You can also get a taste of our traditions – watching for soft crabs in spring, hauling mullets in the summer, tonging oysters in the winter – and the delicious dishes they bring.
There’s always a North Carolina seafood in season. Carteret County fishermen land hundreds of species of fish for you to enjoy. You can choose from traditional favorites like shrimp, crab, and flounder. Or try more exotic offerings like stingray, amberjack, and ribbonfish.
