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.

So we went back to Billy's for more shrimp. The price was half what we have paid elsewhere on the…read moreouter banks and we thought the bigger prices were ok. The shrimp we bought was as delicious as any we have had. So we picked up another pound plus for dinner and we got 4 pounds to freeze and take home. Now that we are back at the RV it seems like we can pack an additional two pounds in the freezer, so tomorrow we will stop by again. Billy passed away a few years back and Judy runs the place (and owns the OBX RV Park we are staying at too. We met her and completely enjoyed talking to her. The place has been in business over 50 years She was as friendly and welcoming as possible. We learned a good bit about soft shelled crabs. She and Cary, my wife, hit it off and talked about cooking crabs and running the RV park. We both enjoyed the experience. I should have taken a picture of the two of them talking. The staff was helpful again. And we are getting ready for a thrown together dinner of shrimp Creole... I picked up a beer to go with it.

The menu is full of fresh, creative dishes, but a few standouts you have to try are the fish tacos (perfectly seasoned and so fresh), the collards (and the poke.

I was excited to explore the local food scene after researching the area. Although I heard the tacos were fantastic, my experience this time was different. I tried the hush puppies topped with sugar butter, and I later enjoyed them with a cracker--thanks to the waitress for the tip. Watching them open oysters so quickly was a delight, and it's no surprise that locals rave about them. Every visit definitely includes a stop here--because the food is simply amazing!

She was so nice and texted me when they were on their way and when they were close by. I appreciated that very much because we had been out shopping. When I met them outside of our timeshare, they came inside and told me how to so the boil. So easy and everything was included and even though there were written directions I didn't need to really read them instead I used it as a reference. Everything was delicious and there was so much. My parents and I had enough for 2 more meals. We got their classic that feeds 3-5 people. Came with sausage (polish apple, mild, chorizo), red potatoes, corn (which was so sweet), 1 big yellow onion, seasonings, 3 sticks of butter, and garlic. Delicious!!! And we did end up eating rice with it which made it even better. Lol. It came with cocktail sauce which was good, but with all the butter and seasonings, didn't really need it. And the cooking liquid, sooo yummy. I have to admit I kept some and froze it for another time (I like to put it on my rice...IYKYK). I was very pleased with the seafood boil, how easy it was and how everything was included. Customer service was excellent. Next time I may add some more seafood to the boil but for my first time I wanted to stay classic.
