They are served hot and fresh. It is a perfect portion for a not so huge lunch. We have eaten decent seafood at O'Neal's Sea Harvest in the past and decided we should try the other place. Besides, the Marina is a nicer atmosphere and recently O'Neals has been getting some less than stellar reviews due their customer treatment. On one visit I went against better judgement and ordered a barbecue sandwich at a place that is not a barbecue joint. It was very good. They have a surprising menu beyond the expected seafood baskets. . They do have great, fresh seafood, but if you have someone in your group who prefers something else, there are very good-looking burgers and other sandwiches and even pizza. This is a nice outing for lunch. We will continue to bring guests and make a tour of Wanchese to see the working fishing industry. It's not something we see in St Louis.

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.

Grabbed a couple condiments so we didn't have to deal with grocery store. Prices were very reasonable.

We visited O'Neal about six year ago and liked it. Then we started going to Wanchese Marina and…read moretook guests there because we liked the food and the atmosphere. On this occasion, we walked around the Christmas Market at the Wanchese Community Center and had our lunch at O'Neal to end a six-year hiatus. We again had good seafood. Ms T had good, fresh and flavorful fried shrimp I had the catch of the day; Red Drum. We accepted the included coleslaw, and we both added fries. This was a good lunch. The seafood remained as good as before and the slaw is some of the better such around. They know how to give it a good sweet-sour balance. It was also fresh, not old and soggy as happens too many times. We also shared a cup of their crab soup that was not something we would ever order again. It is pasty, over-thickened with flour and almost totally unseasoned. We would prefer a creamy soup, that is thickened with cream. We added some salt, and it helped, but it was still wallpaper paste. There is really no saving this, they need to start over and lose the flour. We also felt the food was a little over-priced for what we got. I realize the days of getting a fresh seafood basket for $6 are far behind us, but over $50 for two baskets and one cup of soup is a little steep, especially when we both drank water. Ms T said she would prefer to return to Wanchese. The food is good here, but you have been warned about the crab soup and the prices.

This place is absolutely amazing. The menu might be limited (as they'll only sell the freshest fish…read morecaught within a day or so) but for the price and the freshness it's always our first stop for seafood. Our favorite, when they catch it, is big eye tuna (which compared to higher end grocery stores - that even sell that quality of Tuna - charge 500% more per pound). Their scallops are dry packed and frozen so you're not only paying less for the scallop but you're not paying for scallops have have been pumped with so much solution that they won't crisp up. Theirs cook the best I have ever cooked and you get more per pound. Even if something frozen from them, I can confidently say that it was frozen immediately after being caught and using the best practices so even if you thaw and cook their frozen products, they taste more fresh than any place that sells "fresh fish." A good side note anyway is even the "fresh" fish in most stores has been "previously frozen" and has been thawed out for a day or so (look at the small print on the sign) so buying theirs and thawing it the day you plan to cook it means even their frozen fish is fresher than any store's thawed fish. As long as this place is in business to the public we will continue to go there and it is even better that the employees here take their time to get to know their repeat customers and take effort to make you feel like you're a part of their community. Not many parents of 6 year olds can say that their kids LOVE going to get fish off the dock time and time again despite the industry smells simply because "the people there are so nice and they might have big eye tuna."

This! I've found a new favorite shop here in the Outer Banks. This outlet mall has changed in the…read morepast few years, so I was surprised this shop has actually been here for a few years and there are no reviews. This is actually my third time coming here. Every time I've come in has been a pleasant experience. The store itself is filled with gourmet food, wine, beer and even has a nice cigar section. It's also nice that they serve coffee drinks in the back of the store that you can actually sit and have a drink at the mini bar area. Very cozy and cute! However, I'm sure I've had too much coffee this morning (I'm still drinking an iced coffee from my last stop), so no more coffee so my heart doesn't explode. I settle on a few unique seasoning packs for $20 and am out the door before I decide to buy up a bunch of their delicious chocolates like I did last time I was here! Lastly, thank you to Maria for her prompt and friendly service!
