Fresh Catch Seafood - Retail and Wholesale — Attraction in Roanoke Island

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...

The most distressing thing is, we cannot revisit. We made a stop from VA Beach to Perry, Ga taking it easy, going the long route back, along the OBX, and was totally blown away by the quality, the variety, and the preparation of the seafood just now off the boats.

The absolute kindness and hospitality of all the folks who work at the Marina is the stuff of Legend. Perfect Southern Manners and hospitality personified in every person we encountered.

The rustic chic of ladder-back chairs, wood tables, with the smell of fresh fish in the air is indeed the stuff which only people in-the-know can appreciate.

The only thing better than the food is dealing with Southern Gentlemen and Ladies.

Fantastic Seafood, prepared by people know how.
