This is the first review I have ever left.I have always loved this place, great seafood, been going there for years.Today we called and asked if they had any “Jimmies” their biggest crabs. They told us they had 2 dozen. We asked if they could sit them aside we were on the way. They said yes, asked for our name and we ended the call. We arrive 15 minutes later, they never sat them aside and they had 8 left, 2 of them dead. So they had 6 crabs left. Big difference than 2 dozen.I totally understand not setting things aside for someone and it being first come first serve. But we were told they were set aside.
Nice selection and courteous staff, the good to seafood store. The earlier shopping time the better. A lot of locals shopping there. Great Job Seaview. 👍🇺🇲👍
Hands down one of the best spots I have ever been to for live crabs. The business is exceptionally clean. So many great variations of beautiful fresh fish to try and enjoy. The staff is super polite and helpful. They support our Veterans. Great prices. Customer 4 life. Thank you Seaview
Great service and store overall . I bought 2 pounds of blue crabs for a good price cant wait to come back another day to get more. They were definitely worth the pinch .
The best place to shop for fresh seafood and the people there are amazing!
Came here today 40 mins before they close to get oysters and the guy who helped us was awesome. As soon as I came in I knew it was gonna be fresh and good seafood. Cashier was also friendly. Would definitely come back and recommend to others!!!
Do not buy from here. My boyfriend and I were on a weekend vacation in Wilmington, drove by this place several times and talked about getting fresh oysters. After reading all the positive reviews we stopped by and bought 50 oysters. The girl “counting” our oysters was grabbing the oysters so fast and chucking them into the bag. I wondered how she knew how many oysters she was grabbing every handful. When we got home to count them ourselves we only had 37. Extremely disappointed to say the least.
Most professional business I have been in for a while will go back!!!!👍👍👍
I love this place. So much variety and the veggie and fruit stand next door is awesome too.
Always friendly and helpful. They are knowledgeable in everything they sell as well as very patient, especially with indecisive people like me.
Great local and fresh seafood! The grouper I got today was delicious!
Stopped in to get some fresh local North Carolina oysters and the staff here was great! Very friendly and polite. Helpful too. Definitely a return trip in the near future!
They have a great selection of fish and crustaceans, very fresh
This is my favorite seafood market in New Hanover county! Their prices are fair everything is always fresh and if there is any problems with quality they remedy the situation quickly. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Plus the majority of all their seafood is locally sourced supporting local fishermen. Also the farmers market outside is a great place to pick up what ever else you would need for you tasty meal! Oh and good prices on fresh live bait 👌. Hands down one of my favorite businesses in the area.
This is a must stop for us on the way to and from the beach. Offerings include fresh seafood, seasonings and tools. I recommend picking up the housemade crab dip and the cocktail sauce! Low on funds? Opt for fish bites or chunks at a fraction of the cost you will pay for filets. They arent as pretty but just as delicious.
The store and staff are awesome. Always fresh product and fair prices. Friendly and helpful folks. I stop by every time Im in town.
If I could give more stars in the rating I would. Every time I came in this place over the past three days the people were always so amazing. I will definitely shop here again every time I come back to Wilmington.
Excellent! Great Takeout and options!!
Shrimp was great and staff were all very helpful!
This is a very great store to come to. I feel welcomed and respected. Thank you, the staff are very friendly :)Special thanks to Taylor and CJ for making this store special to our family.
Had exactly what I was looking for
Had everything we needed to go fishing today, we caught about 14 nice black bass. Squid seems to be the bait they like
Great people, great fresh selection, supper fresh produce, great customer service, keep going back, Abby is as well of all others hard workers! Thanks guys! Jersey
Great seafood, friendly and helpful staff!!
Beat staff there is. Unbeatable prices. There shrimp is just too good
Very solid seafood market operation. If you need to buy in bulk, they got you covered.
They need To control there Flies along with the smell of bad fish, a attitude adjustment wouldn’t hurt either! My wife and son stop there for fresh fish but got attitude from the attendant and attacked by the flies covering there so called fresh produce! From what we seen it’s all smoke and mirrors, Flies Carry disease
Pretty cool seeing this place grow over the last few years. Its been a must stop on my way to the island. Even before the new owners took over.
Good selection, fresh
This place was awesome cleanest polite& fantastic prices..local sourced....
Stopped in on the way back from Carolina Beach for the first time. They offer a lot of different fresh seafood, more than what is listed on the outside signs. Very clean and well organized. The displays are heavily packed with ice and neatly presented. Prices are reasonable and the service is fantastic. So friendly and helpful. We ended up buying clams, soft shell crabs and shrimp none of which were we disappointed with our purchase.
Good selection of fresh local seafood! Fresh produce stand is right next door, same Parking lot, in spring, summer, and fall.
Great selection of seafood. Very helpful staff also.
This is the real deal fresh seafood spot at Carolina Beach! Many types of fresh fish right off the boat! Crabs, shrimp, mussels, oysters all right out of the ocean or waterway. I bought grouper, tuna, and mussels and they were the best! Friendly staff and good prices. Ill be back.
Weve been going here for years! Always get the Carolina shrimp and blue crab on our way home from the beach. Last two times weve been overcharged and had to call it out. Thursday it was $58 for a $29 order. Couldnt get the cash register to correct so cash was given back. Not sure whats up, but sceptical now.
This place is great! They were roasting oysters outside when we got there and the samples were yummy. They werent ready when we arrived so they offered some raw to slurp -yummy! They spent a good deal of time teaching us to cook oyster clusters on the grill -they were a hit. we also got some class and mussels,w which were fresh and tasty. The shrimp was as good as it gets -fresh and plump. Wish I could shop there weekly and not live so far away!
Staff was nice and fast and curtious will definitely shop here again thanks
Fresh fish and shrimp🐟🦐 great customer service
Always a great selection and always fresh, buy local skip the frozen stuff at the grocery store
Knowledgeable pleasant lady behind the counter & casual friendly atmosphere. Accessible to answer questions & collect order. Nice selection of fish with sufficient amounts. They will take care to prep fish as u request for ur convenience to take home (u have to season & cook). They had shrimp with or without heads, oysters in clusters or singles, clams, & muscles...really great experience. I saw some seasoning & oyster knives. Got one of their logo tees for gift. Ill go back again!
Great, friendly and helpful staff.excelente quality
Greg and everyone are always helpful and friendly, but I am not a dook fan.
Love this placeGreat fresh seafood Yummy
Great selection of fresh fish, clams, shrimp, oysters. Frozen lobster tails and more!! Found them while vacationing here and so happy I did!!!!!! Clams, lobster tail and shrimp we bought were great!! The lobster tail was so sweet tasting!
Stop there many times and they always greet you with a smile! Their seafood is the best and always fresh. Get it there because it tastes better and its not there for long. The prices are very good too!!
😘 lovely
What a fantastic place to buy fresh fish! I bought many blk sea bass fish and the guy working there filleted all of them being very careful to cut out all bones. Cant wait to go back!
A nicely stocked business of local seafood. The staff is knowledgeable in the seafood they have in stock, so dont be afraid to ask! They can help you select the seafood if you are unsure of what you need, and are also knowledgeable on how to prepare and/or cook it.
Love this place! We stop here every year to get fresh seafood to cool for dinner. Theyre awesome with our kids - showing them all the live seafood.
Great service and price. I bought 2 bushels of oysters for less than anywhere else. They washed them for free.
Overall, the best seafood stop close to the island. Seafood is always fresh...unless its frozen 🙂. Oysters are predominantly farm-raised in their own estuary.
Always great seafood and exceptional staff....👍👍👍
Fresh seafood and very helpful, friendly staff!
Seafood is always fresh. Staff friendly and helpful. My favorite seafood store year round.
Great staff, very, very helpful and knowledgeable. Great seafood too! Would recommend
Awesome place good people
Great quality SEAFOOD. Very knowledgeable staff, gave me some samples of different fish to try.
Great selection and very helpful. Loved the live crabs and lobster. Perfect start to a fish fry.
Visited for first time yesterday. Well stocked. The young lady that waited on me handled my business as I thought she should. The only thing I would say and not meaning it negative or hurtful to her at all was that she didnt go over board and again not wanting or expecting special attention but friendliness and asking customer to come back when knowing I had never been there before. They did have other customers but I would have thought she would have invited me back since I let it be known how impressed I was with what they carry there and etc. I did pick up brochures while there however. I think and its only my opinion that a customer should be told thank you for shopping with us and I hope you will come back again. Politeness goes a long ways with me because their are other good seafood stores in the area. I chose that one be cause I had stopped at produce stand and asked an young man working at produce stand about the seafood store next door and asked him something about the purchase I needed to make because I thought he would know more about what I wanted to purchase at the seafood store more than I would because my son usually does our seafood purchasing. I would still shop there however and I would rate it an A on quality of what I bought and freshness as much as I do know about because I do a little fishing. Service I would give still give not an A but an B which is not bad. You appear to have a good base of customers so that tells me your doing it right. I could have just come in at the wrong time...after the big storm. I am speaking of the terrencial rain storm as I call it. Hope you have a good weekend and 4th! Thank you for this opportunity to voice my opinion and mine only. Perhaps my next visit will be better. We all have our days and I dont let one little incident keep me from not coming back. Best of luck with your business going forward.
Great seafood shop on the way into Carolina Beach!
Excellent fish, shrimp, crabs, oysters....you name it. Staff is great and always willing to help out with selecting and cleaning whatever you want.
Very bad truck drivers! Almost crashed onto me.
Excellent variety of fresh local seafood and specialty items. They also have live bait for anglers

Very prompt service with reasonable prices and great product
Great place to purchase fresh seafood...very helpful
Unfortunately I have to update my review. From a seafood perspective, expect to get fresh and good seafood. What I have to update my review on is the service. Once they got larger and less dependent on loyal customers, the service went south. We used to purchase from their pickup truck on the side of the road with a plywood sign that said crabs. Now its lots of young people who roll their eyes at you when you ask questions or make requests.The biggest issue I have had is the pre-order. I have been ordering large quantities of seafood every year for the 4th of July and in the beginning I would get what I ordered. The past 3 years, despite ordering well in advance ( a month or so), I have had an issue with the order each time. Getting progressively worse. I gave it 3 years, next year we will be ordering elsewhere.This past year was the worst as I went to call them after they didnt call me for pickup and sold all their seafood because they didnt take my order correctly with my phone number to call me. We went there to see what scraps they had left and they had the nerve to say to order in advance next time and we would be set. I did, a month ahead. The previous years, similar issues where they say they didnt have enough, even with picking up first thing in the morning. Which is it? I guess when you have enough business, your word isnt needed anymore.Having a home full of hungry people in the middle of the holiday didnt make me happy. Instead, we went down the road to the Bait Barge where the owners were delighted to have me. They packaged it up nicely, thanked me for my patronage and even helped me to my car with it.In summary, these guys have fresh seafood and for that I give the 2 stars because I cant give 2.5. The other stars are removed for service. Dont take pre-orders you cant fill, treat your customers better, train your staff to care a little more.
Great service, variety, and quality. We stop by anytime we need crab as a rule.
Great place for really fresh seafood, always very helpful, when purchasing seafood.
Love this place. Good selection and knowledgeable friendly staff
Alwsys fresh and firendly workers
The better fresh seafood in the town, great service!! 👍👍

Reasonable prices very nice and helpful staff.
Great customer service and to say the least Great fresh seafood. Only place I will go!!!
