BLUF: Great market, fresh seafood and friendly employees…read more Billy's Seafood located on Colington Island is a terrific place for a few groceries and fresh seafood. In addition to having grocery staples they have an impressive collection of condiments for seafood as well as common ingredients for preparing seafood. I was most impressed by the stacks of hush puppy mix from various brands. It was a fabulous sight. We get steamed crabs from Billy's annually. As a Maryland commercial crabber my father is quite picky (no pun intended) about his crabs and he trusts Billy's Seafood. On my recent visit to the store another customer was picking up steamed shrimp which smelled so good. This market is charming and the employees are delightful.

Seagulls, unfortunately, have great taste in seafood. That's not necessarily surprising, but it is…read moreannoying. I say that because it is a tradition in our family to bring a couple pounds of boiled shrimp to the beach. I defy you to name a better beach snack. The only complication is that the gulls feel the same and are not dissuaded by copious Old Bay. I have enough siblings though that I am comfortable eating with one hand and 'shooing' with the other. Anyway, all that is to say that Surf's Up is a great place to pick up seafood for a low country boil. And FYI, the friendly staff will boil it up for you. Or you could go the DIY route and buy the uncooked stuff. I've seen people load up coolers to transport for the long ride back home. That's genius behavior, because the stuff from here is as fresh and delicious as it gets.

It was our first time trying something like this and the staff were incredibly helpful with instructions, tools needed, etc. Even threw in butcher paper to cover our table at home which was an awesome touch.

As other reviews have said, there are a lot of places like this in OBX but I would keep going back to this one!

We took our fish to the Oregon Inlet fish cleaning station, where they did their usual excellent job of filleting and steaking out 2 wahoo that we caught. From there, please go to "Fresh Catch Seafood" in Wanchese, which is maybe a 10 minute drive from the OIFC. Customer service was second to none, and perhaps the friedliest people you're going to meet in the OBX. They took personal pride in trimming, packing, and freezing our catch, to even packing our cooler and bringing it to our car. Very fair prices and the filliet/wahoo steaks were individually vacuumed packed. Trust me, this is the seco d tine Ive used Fresh Catch and they do a great job with your catch.

Everything was well prepared and very tasty. I wasn't a huge fan of the crab bisque--it was a little too rich for my personal taste--but others in our group thoroughly enjoyed it. The service was excellent, and the staff were friendly and helpful. The atmosphere felt very welcoming and relaxing, too. My only real complaint is the seating: there aren't many standard tables, so you mostly sit at counters along the walls. The wooden stools are solid and not very comfortable; my back and others in our party all had the same issue by the end of the meal. Overall, we really enjoyed it and would recommend checking it out!
