Our family has been coming to Nags Head for 20 years. We always have steamed crabs during our vacation and Billy's has been our go to place for Maryland style crabs. Yum!! The crabs were awesome along with the steamed shrimp. read more

Fresh seafood and the customer service is great! If you get there and it's crowded, no worries. They are super efficient and you are out the door with great seafood! The fresh tuna salad is excellent! read more

Unfortunately, I stopped by the day before I was leaving but I was so glad I did. The fish was fresh and the seafood was clean and nicely displayed on ice. I read a negative review about how they keep the seafood displayed and it was clean and sanitary to me. I will definitely be stopping by the next time I go to the outer banks. read more

Being from Baltimore i have very high standards for Blue Crabs. This place reminds me of the best places to get crabs back home, no frills and off the beaten path. Employees were friendly and i got a half bushel of steamed number one jimmies for $65!!! On top of that there were definitely more than a half bushel as there were 60 crabs all extremely heavy. I will 100% be coming back to this place next time i am back in the OBX. read more

Great place for seafood shopping. Stocked up on everything -tuna, lobster, CRAB LEGS, shrimp, clams...everything was fresh and a great value. Off the beaten path but worth it! read more

We came together for a family reunion. We needed fresh seafood. Billy's is the place. Very fresh. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff and very cold beer to enjoy out near the dock area. Puts you in the proper frame of mind to enjoy the Outer Banks. read more

Without any doubt, the BEST seafood market on the OBX ! They get the best little neck clams, different size shrimp, and blue crabs. If you have them steam your purchase for you, they use generous portions of Old Bay (so be sure to tell them to go lightly if you don't want a lot!). Just be sure to call your order in early in the day ! read more

What a great place to get a bushel of crabs. It is an annual tradition for our vacation and we went back a second time.

Great service, very polite people. Changed my order twice and they were very accommodating.

A must every year for our beach trip. Great selection of seafood, groceries, and prepared food. One of the first stops upon arrival! Stop in and check them out read more

Could not ask for better! Great, fresh seafood. We can not wait to see what's local and fresh. Great shrimp, jumbos were delicious this week streamed up and spicy hot! Tuna steaks are thick cut and delicious grilled rate, of course! read more

We called around several places in OBX for crabs and everyone was out or said they were not in season. We called Billy's and they said no problem. Picked up a half bushel of crabs in 20 minutes. They were delicious. Seasoned just the way we like them. Also all the legs were on the crabs, Billy's knows how to steam them to perfection. read more

Bag of 100 clams for $27 great deal and they tasted great! Perfect stop on the way home.

This old local place looked very good from their ratings on yelp. They were selling warm seafood that was in no way being iced properly. They had pounds and pounds of shrimp in metal pans on TOP of ice. They had oysters for sale, but no shellfish tags indicating harvest date and location as required by state and federal regulations. When asked, they said-"they came in a few days ago" the bags were again on TOP of ice, and the majority of the oysters were at room temperature. Bacteria multiplies EXTREMELY fast above 41F, and these were being held at at least 65F. This outfit has zero concept of proper food safety procedures. The same with fish fillets, in a pan, room temperature on top. The only things stored properly were whole fish with ice under and over them, and frozen items in a freezer. If you value your health, shop elsewhere. It looks like a road widening threatens their business, cheers for that! read more

Extremely friendly mom and pop store. We visited on our way out of the Outer Banks to stock up on fresh seafood to put on ice for the 18 hour drive home. We will for sure return on our next vacation; great prices, great service and good selection. read more

Great seafood with lots of choices ! Great prices on Tuna and local shrimp and clans were a steal! They are consistent with the quality!

Great fresh local seafood! Once you buy seafood from Billy's you will always want to buy your fish and seafood from Billy's. We have been going there for over seven years and are always happy with the quality of the seafood! Purchased oysters this time and the McCormick's Seafood Breading. The fried oysters were absolutely delicious. Everyone working there is always friendly and very helpful. They have a variety of other grocery items too but the seafood is their specialty. Highly recommend Billy's for their fresh seafood, soft shell crabs , crab meat, and regular crabs, oysters, shrimp, clams and their locally caught fish. It is fun to cook the wonderful fresh seafood from Billy's and your friends and family will appreciate the delicious dinner! read more

Wish we would have found this place when we first arrived in OBX in early June, but didn't hear about it until the last night. Ordered steamed crabs to go and they were awesome and inexpensive. Worth the drive over the bridge! Keep a good thing going visit Billy's read more

Billy's was great ordered a half of the blue crab steamed and seasoned at 2 for pick up at 6. Crabs were hot and waiting for me along with 3lbs of king crab legs. Staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. I will be going back today for some scallops and jumbo shrimp to cook on the BBQ. Highly recommend Billy's if you're in the area. My kids 3, 4 & 9 loved using the mallets to break and eat the crabs. They called it the bam bam bam. read more

Billy's is a step back in time. The experience is fantastic - where else can you buy fresh seafood, shrimp boat boots, and floor cleaner. The seafood is as fresh as it comes. We bought shrimp and scallops and threw in some tuna salad and coleslaw for good measure. We had the shrimp spiced and steamed and regretted it. The seasoning is much too salty - all salt it seemed. We will go back but will avoid the seasoning. read more

This will be one of my go-to's anytime I come to OBX. We got their steamed shrimp. And they were delicious!! Bought a pound of medium and a pound of large shrimp, medium to lightly seasoned. There were perfect! Melt some butter to dip them in and you are good to go. Hours are incorrect on Yelp. They are open until 7, not 6. read more

Drifted into town in August looking for an R.V. park and was directed up the Colington Road. I think we stayed at the Colington R.V. park (which makes sense but there was no sign!) There was no-one there, but we were tired and hooked up anyway. Next morning there was still no-one in the office, so I knocked on another campers door and they directed us to Billy's seafood. Wandering in I saw a spread of delights we can only dream of in England. I paid for the night 's stay and couldn't leave without some jumbo shrimp and cocktail sauce. My only regret is I wasn't a little braver and had some crabs as well. Wonderful place, great shop, friendly folk! read more

I purchased a dozen #1 Jimmies. Got them home and thought they were pretty light. Started filling my steamer and counted 15 crabs. Gotta give Billy's credit for not just throwing 12 in the bag and move onto the next customer. I am certain they felt 12 was just not the right thing to do so they threw in 3 to make up for the lightness. Way to look out for the customer. Definitely will be back!!! read more

A bit off the beaten path, but well worth the visit. The woman behind the counter gave very good advice to a novice (me) when it came to soft shelled crabs. It was much appreciated. A very good place to go for local seafood. Even the fresh, flown in salmon looked great. read more

You will never go wrong at Billy's. They have been around for many many years and the quality is always great. We love the streamed crabs but have also got fish and shrimp from them. Might be off the beaten path just a little but very worth the drive!!! read more

the staff was very rude if you don't want cell phone use in your business then you should consider posting a sign. the rudeness was unacceptable. very poor business practice. we will not be returning read more
