B & J Seafood - Fresh Salmon & Scallops - Seafood Markets Near Me - New Bern, North Carolina

The service was good. A bit of a selection. The workers cut the fish to your liking. The fish seemed fresh. It was clean and did not have a fishy smell indicating it was fresh. And update to my review. My husband d and I did not expect to much from the fish, boy was i wrong! The fish was absolutely DELICIOUS! nothing like fresh fish from a reputable store. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

I love this place. The quality of the oysters and prices are unmatched. They lose a star for not having fresh crawfish in season nor ever having the gator they advertise. What they do carry is excellent. read more

This fresh seafood market is life! Everyone is very friendly. Great customer service and reasonable prices. I always get a dozen live blue crabs and they are always washed and kicking when I get them home. Highly recommend this place to seafood lovers. read more

We always choose B&J as our first choice for our club's seafood cook-outs and fish fries. They've always come through with a good product. The phone number in this listing is wrong. It should be 637-0483 read more

Great selection of fresh seafood. Never a bad experience. Get all my fresh blue crabs and shrimp from here.

I ordered oysters two years in a row at the beginning of to Oyster seasons. 2 bushels one each ear. The first year I brought home the bushel my daughter had put in the cooler in the back she didn't take a look, I poured it out and it was maybe a half a bushel. I called them they said Return to get the other half. I thought this was an honest mistake no biggie. Second gear this year, my daughter is in the Army she wanted oysters she was coming home beginning of the season I called they said they had some I ordered them one bushel went to get them some young man put them in the trunk of my car and my cooler and I drove off I had asked prior to leaving if they were salty I was told yes. I got home I had approximately 50 oysters that were not salty and they appeared to be kind of dry on the inside. That means to me that they're old. To make matters worse the second year in a row I've got shorted on oysters where in North Carolina is 50 oysters a bushel, for 70 bucks? Maybe they thought I was a tourist? I called them again ask for my other half I was told to come and get them. I went and got them, mind you it's a 40 minute drive one way to get these oysters from my house. Again the oysters were still not salty and not what I asked for I will never return. read more

I bought the Claw Crabmet from East Coast Seafood in Wilmington, NC. This is absolutely the worst container which was full of shells. It looked like someone just cracked the crab and dumped it in the container. I have never in all the years I have bought crabmeat seen such a mess with shells. I will never buy this brand of crabmeat again. Mary Southerland Wilmington, NC read more

The best and the freshest seafood. The clam are soooo fresh and yummy. Also, great service and great prices.

First time in and had a lot of questions. Super helpful staff, let me pick his brain for a solid 20 minutes on local fish, seasonal items and convinced me to try something new. Loved the local products, took home Flounder, Salmon and Scallops, everyone at home was pleased with the quality. Definitely our new favorite fish market. read more

Have usually liked seafood from B&J but was disappointed in customer service on yesterday's purchase. The sales staff could not give any information about a couple fish/eels in the case. Staff should be educated on new items they are selling. I asked if all sizes of "Fresh" shrimp in the case were local and was told that they were local that had been caught and frozen last winter and just now thawed because local shrimp were not currently available -- there was no indication on signage that these were previously frozen. When I returned home to clean two soft shell crabs and discovered one had no claws and the other only one claw, I called and the manager informed me that because of the way they are caught/sorted some do not have claws but they still sell whole abd clawless crabs at same price. I will continue to shop there but will ask more questions before purchasing. read more

Excellent soft shell crab in season at great price. Wonderful shrimp and wide selection of fresh fish.

We heard from locals that this is the best place to buy seafood. We bought raw clams and crab claws. Great price and very fresh. Friendly staff. Will go back very soon. read more

Great selection and very good prices. But unfortunately the smell of the detergent spoiled all my purchases today. You can smell from the parking lot. I have to say that many places in New Bern share the same issue: there might be a new sanitation rule that forces them to use such strong chemicals. And it gets into the food. My guests had to apologize not to be able to go through with the dish. I cannot pass that. read more

By far the best seafood! Always a great selection..fair prices.excellent staff..Always look forward to bring back a few coolers to Asheville to share with the mountain folk! Thanks for all your help Ray! read more

B&J Seafood has been in business for many years, which is a commendable achievement in any industry, but more particularly the seafood industry. They are always well stocked with robust shrimp, live blue crabs, local catch - usually flounder, drum or red snapper, some farmed products, some frozen items like mussels and squid, and a well-stocked seasoning display. Fresh local catch, expertly fileted to your requirements by their friendly staff, like its been done for years...who could ask for more? Definitely worth the trip! read more

Excellent seafood and the best staff ever. The only place to buy your seafood if it''s quality you seek.

Just drove down briefly for the day from central Virginia. Bought clams, shrimp and a couple soft-shell crabs. Excellent service and advice. Wish we had more reasons to be in town. read more
