Fresh Catch Seafood

I can't say enough amazing things about this place. Don't let the location and vibe of the fish market dock make you feel like you're not at the right place. You're at the best place to get the best quality, most recently caught seafood ever. Know that you're getting seafood to cook at home here but it is OUT OF THIS WORLD amazing. The selection is only going to be as vast as their fishing results because they only sell the freshest just caught or immediately frozen fish! Some days there is an amazing menu of fish caught that day and other times you might be going home with a bag of the best dry-packed scallops or freshly frozen shrimp. (Pro-tip, on the days where their selection is less and you want a fish dinner, I grab some frozen shrimp or scallops as an appetizer, then head over to O'Neils who is a good second alternative to seafood in Wanchese). Either way, quality is always Fresh Catch's first priority and the prices are so incredibly reasonable it's like having your cake and eating it too! Did I mention how personable and kind their staff is? I usually will just look at what I can order and quickly search for recipes from my phone to decide what catch to go with because I don't want to bother the people who work at these places with the typical "how do you cook that" questions that can easily be looked up in today's world but not only are they more than happy to share what they have done they also will filet your fish according to how you plan to cook it or not filet it at all allowing and choose to save even more money by buying the whole fish. As long as this place is there and we are in the OBX they will be our go-to for all things seafood!

What a great place if you're near Nags Head or Wanchese, NC. If you're looking to buy the highest quality fresh seafood to take back to your condo or to take home to wherever you live, this is the place to be. And if you're looking for someone to process your fresh catch when you come off a charter boat they are perfectly prepared for you. They will process, portion and ship.We were there last week and bought shrimp plus pre-frozen bacon wrapped scallops and some amazing, fresh off the boat tuna steaks. The freshness was off the charts. The shrimp large and already de-headed. We've had the scallops now that we're back home and they were so sweet, and the minute you opened them after thawing you could smell just how fresh they were when frozen. While there we saw them "grading" the tuna - something other seafood retailers often do not do. Oh - and lest I forget -- their prices far and away beat the seafood retailers in Kitty Hawk and Kill Devil Hills.It's a small place - back off the dock and the retail window is inside the processing area. You'll see the staff processing the shrimp and moving fish that just came off the commercial boats around for preparation. The floor is wet so be prepared for that. Everyone in the room was very friendly and professional. Micah was a delight. Really - can't say enough good things.
