Carawan Seafood

Always find fresh and delicious shrimp here! The key lime pie is to die for! We shop here every time we are in kitty hawk.

Such a cute little seafood store located next to the Walmart and across the street from the Starbucks, so location is extremely convenient!They sell seafood and can even steam some of it for you! How nice!!! I'm hangry and I need a snack, so some yummy steamed shrimp it is for me!

Tourist Trap!! Locals know not to go here. Tourists love it thinking this is what fish is and it's disappointing. A friend insisted we go to get fresh fish but when he asked a simple question about the type of fish he was lied to and blown off. Fun fact he's a commercial fisherman and realized they either didn't know what they were selling or were trying to overcharge for subpar fish. I called a local for a referral and was told Billy's or Steamers are the places the locals trust. They knew their fish and answered my friend's questions easily. If you want Red Lobster type of fish for high prices this is your place. Or you can go where the locals go, Billy's or Steamers.

Called ahead and gave a time I would be there to pick up crabs and crab legs. Arrived at given time yet the crabs were cold and obviously cooked way before the time I asked to pick up. Also, two of the crabs were empty (literally only a shell with no crab meat inside). Crabs legs were hot and cooked perfectly. Unfortunately our experience was overshadowed by the cold crabs as this was a birthday gift for my husband. I would recommend picking up earlier in the day or waiting for items to be steamed on site to ensure they are warm.

Bought a half pound of shrimp, which was okay. The Kelchner's cocktail sauce was good, but quite overpriced. But the reason why I will never come back to this place, and have taken my business elsewhere, is because of the horrible service. The older lady that rang me up did not even acknowledge my presence. She was on the phone the entire time, and ignored me when I said "hello" to her, when I thanked her, and when I said "goodbye". She wouldn't even look in my direction. She simply took my money and walked away, chatting on the phone about a delivery. I found that to be shockingly disrespectful. As someone that is not a tourist, and values being treated as a human being, I have happily taken my business elsewhere.

Friendly staff, fresh seafood, good prices. Some produce available. Open all year. They will steam some for you.

Bob and his staff are friendly and knowledgeable. Shop is clean and seafood is fresh. We are staying down island, but have made 3 trips here so far to make some amazing shore meals. While there - pick up a locally made pie as well. Whatever you do, however, make sure this family owned shop is on your list. Open year round!

Super fresh and delicious seafood and friendly staff. We didn't bother going out to dinner during our vacation -- we just bought amazing seafood at Carawan and enjoyed a feast at home better than any restaurant. We had the scallops, shrimp, crab cakes, smoked seafood dip, and mahi mahi. All excellent. So glad they are open during December.

This place in KittyHawk is by far THE BEST in the area for fresh seafood, a great selection, and the friendliest , knowledgeable staff. I visited another store in the area which was rated a half star higher, and I walked out almost immediately, and went back to Carawan. No comparison! Selection, knowledge and courtesy is hallmark of this place. Thank you so much for being in business!

Went to Carawan while in Duck for MDW. Great clams and friendly service! In and out in minutes.
