Whalebone Seafood Market

Whalebone Seafood Market was incredibly clean, and the service was very quick and friendly. Was able to get a little over a pound of large shrimp for $20. This store also carries many sauces and has dessert options. Would recommend for any of your seafood needs.

They were super friendly, and our steamed shrimp and crab legs were AMAZING! You also have to try the garlic butter and banana pudding. Both were delicious. We will definitely go back the next time we are in the area!

This seafood market is top notch! Friendly staff and wonderful selection. We swung in on Easter Sunday for steamed shrimp for lunch and left with crab dip , key lime pie and more ! All delicious. Then back again on Tuesday for more!!
If I lived in the area these guys would be my go to fish mongers- so nice and friendly, made me feel like a local 😁

Very friendly staff. Good prices. They steamed our shrimp while we waited. I'll definitely be going back the next time I visit the Outer Banks.

Fantastic fresh seafood -- I got swordfish steaks, scallops, and oysters and they were all top notch. Really elevated our vacation fare! Grilled the swordfish with corn and served with an avocado salsa.

This is some great fresh fish 🐠 and crab 🦀. They had Dungeness crab, snow crab legs, and whole blue crab that were a great size. Nice sized scallop too. At the time of our visit it was $130 for 1/2 a bushel which was a great market price at the time. They even had hush puppies that were frozen and you warm up in the oven. Great service.

DELICIOUS!
We had 20 people for a wedding and wanted a seafood dinner, but didn't want to go out with this size group. We decided to eat at home and try the steamers from Whalebone Seafood Market. We ordered a Mr. Big, Buffalo City, side of scallops and an extra cornbread. Everyone in my group loved it! I didn't have a favorite, it all was delicious! We also had plenty of food.

We ordered a seafood boil pot from here and had them cook it.all we had to do was pick it up and our dinner was ready to eat. Very convenient and very reasonable and good!

Tom is the man! A buddy and I went crabbing, and this is one of the only places around that steams them. They threw a healthy amount of Old Bay seasoning to boot. First timers, so they walked us through it all. Also have some delicious sheepshead. Highly recommend.

I travel to Avon twice a year and every trip I make the 1 hr trip north to Nagshead to get the best steamed seafood around. Thanks for being there

Fantastic fresh seafood at great prices! Our first visit we bought fresh to take home and cook-some of the best shrimp I’ve had. After going in we saw their cooked to order family meals at a great price and went back for another order during the week. Food was hot and ready when promised and of course delicious!! And don’t forget to grab a container of their homemade seafood dip. Would definitely recommend!

This is the bomb. Crab legs were steamed, not dipped in hot water. Shrimp was a very nice size, larger than most. Price was the best part.

Ordered lightly seasoned medium steamed shrimp and fresh oysters.
Picked them up at reserved time. We were overwhelmed about the variety of seafood that was offered. They also had house made seafood dips that were available for sampling. They were just finishing up the order of shrimp. The shrimp were perfectly cooked. They were also huge for medium shrimp. They were the best steamed shrimp that we have ever ordered at the OBX. The raw oysters were very fresh and the guys said that the were very tasty. Whalebone Seafood is our new go to place for steamed and raw seafood.

My first time going to a seafood market and was blown away...
The guys were super friendly super knowledgeable and super helpful a DEFINITE return is a must and a DEFINITE recommendation will be as well

Our favorite place for fresh seafood on OBX! And everyone is so helpful and friendly! If we lived here we would be frequent customers!

Great simple seafood. We ordered the Whalebone 2 nights ago and didn’t realize they had forgotten the clams until the end. We were full at that point so it didn’t matter, but when I called back today to order again, she offered the clams for free to make up for the mistake. The lady I talked to was so helpful on the phone and explaining the build your own. Simple food, great taste and great service!! Will be coming back next year.

We bought a steamer take out meal during our trip to OBX. The fish was fresh and delicious. It was plenty of food for two people. I recommend going to Whalebone for your fresh fish needs!

Love whalebone. Everything streamed is perfect every time. Hush puppies are amazing too. Get it at least 2-3 times each time we come. Super friendly customer service also. Will be back at the beginning of next season!

Love this place! The absolute freshest seafood. Scallops were amazing. You must get their homemade crab dip and shrimp dip. Their Key Lime pie was to die for! And to top it off everyone there is so nice!

The shrimp were delicious and huge. The crabs were a decent size for late August. I placed my order over the phone and couldn't have asked for friendlier service.
