    These puny fellas are NOT what I am used to getting as "jumbo shrimp". But I have only purchased shrimp in New Bern twice.
    Joel C.

    The store was clean and well-stocked. The seafood appeared very fresh. The employees were not wearing masks despite state mandates (COVID). I purchased a pound of "jumbo" shrimp and a pound of lump crabmeat. When I got home I found that there were perhaps 6 jumbo shrimp, 4-5 medium shrimp, and the rest were large. I am pretty disappointed. Medium shrimp are not ideal for stuffing with crabmeat as when they are butterflied there is little shrimp to lay the crabmeat on. If I am simply mistaken about local shrimp size norms, then my rating for the store would be better as this was my only complaint. The crabmeat was pretty pricey....$21/pound, but seemed to be of good quality and seemed fresh.

    I love B & J Seafood!! I love seafood and here I always get a good selection and good prices. The staff is helpful and friendly. At the local supermarkets the shrimp are mostly from Indonesia and are farm raised. Here I get American and Wild Caught fresh shrimp. They have a lot of types of fresh fish too. Flounder, Striper, Mahi Mahi, and lots more. The Scallops are great! The crab meat is great! They even have frozen octopus. I also love the spices and condiments and even Cajun E-Toufe sauce. This place is a gem! I wish there was one like this everywhere I travel. I've posted some photos.

    Disappointed in the product. The order was for 12 large male blue crabs. I only got 11. There was a couple that didn't have claws. A couple of dead ones. None were large. A few probably aren't even legal to keep because they were so small.

    I popped in to grab some fresh seafood before heading back home to Cary. I stopped at a couple…read moreother seafood markets in the area, but they all smelled so strong that it was hard to stay in the store. The fish seemed much fresher at Blue Ocean and the smell was so much milder. I had a lot of questions and the guy at the counter was so helpful and friendly! He also did an amazing job packing my fish and shrimp with tons of ice for the drive. I made some of the shrimp as soon as I got home and it was awesome! Hoping to plan another trip very soon and will definitely be back to stock up!

    Had the most bizarre visit here. After seeing their specials board advertising $5.99/pound…read moreflounder, I went inside and asked for 4 pounds - when I went to check out it was over $90! After pointing out the specials board, first they tried to tell me it wasn't on special and then after she physically went outside and read the board that THEY put out there, they said that was only for their frozen fish. I did not ending up purchasing the fish but called later just to see if their stories would stay consistent and they said over the phone that all flounder was $5.99/pound and that they would weigh it after the cleaned it. I then told her I was the same person who tried to purchase the flounder earlier on special and she still made up different stories about what I was trying to purchase vs what was on the specials board. Felt like they were trying to take advantage of a local because maybe they thought I was a tourist. Very disappointed and will be taking all my seafood business to Captain Jim's instead. Also, tried to purchase blue crabs last summer and after they checked, they were all dead from being too cold in their freezer. @Blue Ocean - do better!
