Great shrimp- each time. Friendly owners, easy parking- convenient to home. It's a no brainer to go there.

Fresh seafood and great, friendly service. Small family run business. We purchased shrimp, sausage, crab clusters and king crab legs. Everything was amazing. We went back 2 days later for more. read more

Dockside North Seafood Market - Crab Boil - Seafood Markets Near Me - Corolla, North Carolina

The nicest guys and best service!!!! I called the store to ask a question and they missed our call but then took the time to call us back. Amazing service. They helped us figure out amounts of shellfish for a clambake we are having at our 4x4 house. We were able to buy ice from them and they helped us pack everything in coolers. We will be going back!! read more

What a great fish market! Beautiful selection of fish, shrimp, and other good stuff. The staff are super nice and helpful!

Great place for seafood. Very friendly and accommodating. Would definitely go back. The seafood was fresh and reasonably priced.

I purchased steamed shrimp and jumbo lump crab. Quality was excellent. I suggest you call ahead if ordering steamed shrimp.

Customer service is excellent and quality of seafood exceptional. We ordered twice from here this year during our beach week - the boil and steamed seafood. Both included everything ordered and tasted insanely fresh. Completely different taste of the seafood than what we experience back home without close proximity to the ocean. This is great seafood. When we arrived to pickup, we were early so we hung out inside and the owner came out to chat with us. The staff are all very friendly and engaging. They are down-to-earth and welcomed conversation. This family run business has my family's service for as long as we continue to spend our beach vacations in Corolla. read more

First class customer service. Super fresh seafood. We got clams & shrimp here, the prices are affordable and both were delicious. Highly recommend. read more

Whenever we go to Corolla, this is our go-to for fresh seafood. Everything we've had from them is great, five years running. Mussels, mahi mahi, swordfish (so fresh they had to cut the steaks for us!), crabmeat, shrimp, drum ... and OMG the scallops. The scallops are the best we've ever had!! Everyone is friendly, helpful ... they go above and beyond. This is the place to go!!!! read more

Called in a clam bake order for pickup later that same evening. It was ready at the time I had asked for and instructions were super easy to follow. Our clam bake had crab legs, shrimp, clams, potatoes and corn, plus it came with all of the condiments you need - including a whole stick of butter! Everything was delicious, fresh and well seasoned. My family absolutely loved it and it was a nice at-home option for dinner without having to make much effort. We will definitely be going back here. read more

We got the steam pots to go here (2 orders) along with the she-crab soup, baguette, oysters and a crab cake. The seafood was fresh and the instructions to do the steam pots at home we clear and easy to follow. They came with a stick of butter, cocktail sauce, and a lemon. So good!!! We will definitely be doing this again! read more

If Fresh seafood is what you want there's no better place in corolla. Super fresh and great prices, and they look out for the locals! Dockside is family owned and operated. They have everything you will need to have an amazing seafood experience including cooked shrimp ready to eat! Thank you Jerome and family for all you do! read more

Awesome fresh shrimp! I came to appreciate how superb the shrimps they offer here. Every bite I took was my taste buds doing the victory dance... I ordered a pound of the large shrimp and have them steam em for me with Old Bay. It was simple but just right. The food is fresh so there's no way of messing it up. Plus, these people know what they are doing, so my food was cooked just right, not over nor under. I appreciate the shrimp even more after I went back to Maryland and had "fresh" steamed shrimp. Ugh! Take me back to Dockside please! read more

Delicious!! While in the OBX for vacation, we wanted to have a proper seafood dinner. (When in Rome...!) so we placed an order ahead of time, picked up crab legs, shrimp, and hush puppies. All staff were wearing masks (yayyyy!!!!!) BUT they did not enforce the mask mandate for NC to customers (which is why I gave them 4 stars instead of 5.) Anywho- the food was delicious and I def recommend it. read more

We picked up steamed crab legs and go some of their spiced shrimp. It all was so fresh and so so good. Some of the best crab legs we have ever had. They were super nice and helpful too! read more

Legit seafood market! Don't waste your time going to the regular grocery store for your seafood. I went here 2x in one week. Got the peeled, deveined raw shrimp the first time and they cooked up great. The 2nd time they steamed the shrimp for us and it was AMAZING! Perfectly seasoned. Not overdone. And I was able to pick it up just 20 minutes after I called and ordered it. Their fresh fish selection isn't huge, but it all looked fresh. Definitely recommend! read more

Great spot for fresh seafood in Corolla. I went twice this trip down- got fresh shrimp and then a clam bake steamer pot- the seafood was top notch and the service could not have been more friendly. The prices were very fair and more affordable than most other spots I saw. Will definitely make this my go to for seafood while I'm In Corolla! read more

Very delicious Old Bay Shrimp. Our at-home happy hour was better for it!! Visited at end of day so pickings were slim for out tastes. But the take-away shrimp were terrific. Recommend this fish market. read more

I'm a local to Corolla and this is my "go-to" place for seafood. Everything is high quality and the team will always let you know what's locally caught. Everyone there is happy and passionate about their products! Go there instead of our 2 local supermarkets... read more

The seafood is fresh! An awesome assortment of fresh product available at a lightning fast pace. Very reasonable rates. Friendly service that you can't beat. Get here before they open to get what you need as the line starts to form before they open! read more

Dockside North Seafood Market - Best way to beat Hermione! - Seafood Markets Near Me - Corolla, North Carolina

If you are in Corolla or Duck, this really is the place to go for live crabs by the bushelful. $20 per dozen for NC Blue Crabs is a decent price and for $5 more they'll steam them for you. The seafood is fresh, and mostly local, and the staff is knowledgable. The prices are fair, if not as great as Austin's (a 45 min drive south). Check it out for fresh fish! read more

Tonight was my second trip to Dockside North in 3 days. They have clam bake to-go buckets that are amazing! The seafood is fresh, the staff is uber friendly and helpful. It just makes you want to come back over and over again. The clam bake is what sold us. There are three pre-planned options or you can augment with anything in the shop for the per-pound prices (which are fair). They season everything and pack it up in a metal container that you take back and cook. They also include their homemade cocktail sauce - which I now crave daily. If you need some seafood (who eats burgers on a trip to the coast?), check this place out. It's well worth it! read more

My family comes to OBX every year, usually trying to find a new town to stay in each year to really get a feel for the area! This year we landed in Corolla. When I began searching for fresh fish markets in the area I read a bunch of mixed reviews on other stores but seemed to find only great ones about Dockside. Upon arrival I was greeted by one of the most friendly and helpful staffs, a gentleman who I can only assume to be the owner came from the back and even gave me a run down of everything they had to offer to help me decide from their vast selection. Without a doubt will definitely return every year even if it's a bit of a drive, good service goes a long way nowadays. read more

Great customer service and super fresh fish! We got the shrimp, tuna and swordfish and cooked it at home. Awesome !

We visited Dockside North Seafood Market on our recent trip to Corolla. We purchased a number of items - tuna, mussels and oysters. The mussels and tuna were fresh and very good. However, when we got the oysters back to the house and started to shuck them, they were bad. They smelled and were obviously not edible. We had to throw them away. So disappointing. This was at the end of our vacation and we weren't able to go back to return them. I would recommend that if you are buying oysters, smell them before you leave. Had we done this, we would not have purchased. read more

Cheapest locally sourced seafood in town. Great service and selection. Would highly recommend!

Great local fish market. Prices are fair, product is great and the staff always helpful. A must for any visit to the northern OBX. read more

This place is so legit. Selection was not extensive but was incredibly fresh and reasonably priced. Grilled it all that night, was sooo good! Highly recommend!! read more

We got a bunch of fresh seafood here... Shrimp, scallops, salmon, tilapia, and clams... And it was all outstanding! They got our order ready very quickly, and they were really nice and knowledgeable. I will definitely get our seafood from them again when we come back to the area. read more

I called ahead to order steamed lobster and shrimp, but I called around 3p and they were all out for the day. Not a big deal. The person on the phone was apologetic and I decided to try again the next day. I called an hour after they opened and was able to place my order. Again, the person on the phone was friendly and helped me with my order. The seafood was fresh and delicious! Prices were reasonable. We had such a great meal that the next day we went back to Dockside to pick up crab cakes. You can't go wrong! read more

This place is a gem! The store is incredibly clean, the employees were all so kind and helpful everytime we visited throughout our week. Everything we got was so delicious and fresh! All employees were wearing masks which we were very happy to see. We will be back. Dont miss this place when on vacation in Corolla. read more

Ordered insanely delicious steamed shrimp from this outfit during our annual visit to OBX. Highly recommend Dockside for high quality seafood. read more

Let me start by saying the experience from start to finish was very enjoyable coming into their market. The staff was very friendly and very helpful as I was completely oblivious to what I needed for the steam buckets to go. They have several premade buckets were they choose the seafood that's put in it or as I did I was able to customize the bucket for our family need. I think if you want a seafood experience you're almost better off coming to dockside and getting the bucket with what you want as opposed to going to a lot of these restaurants in the area that are truly overpriced and over packed and the reviews will be middle of the road. Again can't thank the staff enough for a great experience! read more

Great experience at Dockside. Staff was super knowledgeable about their product and made excellent suggestions. My paella was a huge success and the tile fish was a perfect choice, thanks Josiah. The homemade cocktail sauce was fabulous! Dockside will be my go to for seafood on OBX! read more

We ordered crabs from here on two separate occasions this week and you can't beat the price and the quality. We also got their spiced steamed shrimp and hush puppies - you can get everything you need for a dinner in~ we love this place!!! read more

Exquisite, flavorful shrimp. Small, sweet scallops. Unfortunately, the oysters were either empty or remained sealed, even after cooking.
