Captain Jim's Seafood Market

Crystal Coast visitors and residents who want to sample all the fresh seafood that this coastal destination is renowned for will want to pay a visit to Captain Jim's Seafood Market – a small but fully-stocked seafood market in the heart of Morehead City that always specializes in the fresh catches of the day.

Situated along Arendell Street, and easy to reach for folks staying in the historic downtown region of Morehead City and beyond, this seafood market features products that are caught by local fishermen, and as a result, the fare that is available is wholly dependent on the season. In the winter months, patrons will be able to sample a variety of seafood including hard-shell blue crabs, bluefish, clams, oysters, grey sea trout, or speckled sea trout, while in the summer, visitors can also feast on grouper, king mackerel, mahi-mahi, snapper, striped bass, and yellowfin tuna. In addition, shoppers will also find a variety of accompaniments for every meal, like seasonings and even desserts including key lime pies. Because the seafood cases are changing regularly, and typically on a daily basis, Captain Jim's Seafood Market is worth multiple visits in order to explore all the fresh seafood that the Crystal Coast has to offer.
