Haag & Sons Seafood — Restaurant in Oak Island

THE OYSTERS ARE INCREDIBLE!

If you haven’t been to Haag Seafood yet, definitely make a trip to check them out. Not only were they giving free raw oyster samples at the door, but the staff was so incredibly energetic and friendly that it makes me wonder why I’ve been going anywhere else to get my seafood.

I live in Wilmington, and will gladly be making the hour trip to get my seafood every time I’m having a hankering from now on.

We bought a half bushel of Top Sail oyster clusters and eagerly brought them home to: wash, steam, and shuck. We had a group of 5 people and, even then, were only able to make it through half of what we bought.

The quality was superb, the service was spectacular, and I couldn’t recommend them higher to anyone looking for a new place to get fresh seafood.

Will be going back today to try out some of their other options, and will post a review as soon as I get a chance to try it out.

He went along without explanation or issue. Odd customer service culture from great to passive aggressive. I went out of my way and have other options. I used to recommend this place to friends. I didn't make a fuss and left with my fish. You would think a fish market partially dependant on excited tourists would have no problem educating customers on thier product without complaints. It is what...

The best advice I ever got at a market, 'you don't want that, try the Tritail.' may have been the most honest and sincere piece of advice I ever received from a market vendor.

I went in looking for enough Grouper to feed seven adults. Price was $30 per pound, but there was this big, huge, beautiful massive display piece on the ice table...

The wonderful woman at the counter suggested I try Tritail instead, She suggested it had similar texture and flavor at one third the price. As luck would have it, I got the last Tritail from the ice table. I cannot tell you how happy everyone was with this fish,

More importantly, these folks are honest, helpful and not in it to screw over the tourists (which I am not as a 50% resident). But they didn't know me from Adam and still made me the...
