This is my go to place for ordering steamed crabs in Charlotte! We got three dozen steamed crabs for fathers day. They only had females left but they were delicious! The seasoning on them was great and the meat was sweet! They packaged them in these foil trays so they stayed warm for quite a while! Super happy with these! read more

Inner Harbor Seafood Market - 3 dozen steamed female blue crabs! - Seafood Markets Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

My go to for fresh fish for years now. The husband and wife that cleans and cook the fish are so sweet.

No matter what the outside looks like I'd buy fish here 100 times over our grocery stores. Good options and we were out in a flash read more

When I lived in Charlotte this was my "go to" place for crabs. I'm a Marylander so I'm pretty picky about crabs. They would even let me bring my own Old Bay seasoning for steaming. The prices can't be beat for a dozen crabs. In Maryland, a dozen live crabs for steaming costs $70 on average. When steamed, the price increases to almost $100. Can't even count how many times I enjoyed crabs while sitting on my balcony when living on Piedmont Row Drive. Miss them so much. read more

If your looking for some fancy shop then go somewhere else. Now if you want fresh fish then step in here. They cut the fish whatever style you want. The service was great and prices are fair . I will be coming back here for my fish read more

I needed several lbs of large shrimp for a southern shrimp boil, and they had just what I needed, at a fair price too. See the photo of what came of it. read more

Inner Harbor Seafood Market - Low country shrimp boil - Seafood Markets Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Picked up some snow crab legs after calling to ensure they were available. The market isn't in what I perceived to be a great part of town so you would want to come earlier in the day. I paid $253 for three bags of frozen crab legs. We used two bags and it fed 6 people with sides. I think this prize was a little high but the crab legs were fresh and cracked easily. Overall, very happy with the purchase but the price was a bit higher than what I normally pay. They are open during COVID19 state shut down. read more

I love this place and its workers. Today, I tasted a world-class oyster (I bought 30 of them) and a cherrystone clam (I bought a dozen). The outside of the building is not inspiring -- it was a fast food location, but the inside contains far better seafood than you will find at grocery stores. You want Blue Fish? Yes. You want live lobsters? Yes. You want squid/calamari, tubes and tentacles? Yes. This is the most comprehensive seafood market in East Charlotte. And they will cook their seafood for you or let you taste the raw pieces as I did today. Any market that allows you to taste their raw seafood and who backs it up with a full guarantee is my company. Also seen today: Whiting, Flounder, Porgies, Black Bass, Mackerel, several kinds of shrimp, and so on. When in season, you can get cardboard boxes of crabs -- soup, anyone? read more

Staff wasn't really friendly. Had to get my own fish and basically had to clean it myself once i got home.

I've heard of Inner Harbor for a while and after getting some thoughts from fellow Yelpers on my "Talk" post asking about seafood markets in Charlotte, gave it a go yesterday. They have a nice variety of fresh seafood on ice. Whole fish, fillets, squid, various sizes of shrimp, clams, oysters and a tank with live lobsters and dungeness crab. The prices are quite reasonable too. We went for the lobsters so we could serve some up to our neighbor's son on his 20th birthday. The smallest they had was two pounds, we scooped up three of them and headed home. Once steamed, the lobster meat was sweet and firm and just awesome. Fed me, my wife, our neighbor, her son and his girlfriend with two of these giant things and got one left in the fridge which will wind up in a lobster roll in a few more hours! I will absolutely be back to Inner Harbor. read more

I googled places to find blue crabs in Charlotte, and this place came up. When I arrived they had a great selection of seafood. When we got the blue crabs in the bag, that's where things went wrong. They wanted nearly $30 for a dozen of very small female crabs. The crabs were so little, it looked illegal take them from the water. When I asked the cashier if we could get larger crabs he responded, "you get what you get". Needless to say, I did not purchase them. read more

This place is horrible! The fish is never fresh! It's like he unthaw and refreeze what he don't sell. The owner himself is rude! They hack at ur fish not cut it properly! It's never consistent, they sell u frozen fish claiming to be fresh! DO NOT RECOMMEND AT ALL. SHUT THIS PLACE DOWN! read more

I wasn't sure what to expect. Seems people either love this place or hate it. I will admit when we pulled up in the parking lot and based on the negative reviews, I was wondering if we made the right choice. It looks run down and dirty from the outside. We almost didn't go inside but since we were there, what was the worse? We could just walk out. So inside we went and I didn't have the strong rancid smell that another reviewer mentioned. You walk in and to the left is a "store" section. Limited items of Asian food, Hispanic items, and seafood seasoning. To the right, you have your seafood section. It is lined up with fish and other items. They have a row of seats that you can sit on - I guess for when it gets busy. We weren't exactly sure what the process was to order so we hung up back and watched others. They were pretty busy when we were there. So to get fish, you pick out your fish and place in a basket and then hand off to them. I actually enjoy being able to pick out my own fish, rather than pointing and letting them pick it out for you. You never really get to inspect the fish when it is done by them. I like to look it all the way over and smell it. So this was a definite plus for us. When you give them the basket of fish, you tell them how you want it clean. We went with red snapper which was $7.99lb at time of our visit. It was about $24 for two whole fish. We went with the fillet cut. They only gave us the fillets but I asked for our bones too and they had no problem giving it to us. If I am paying for the whole fish, I am going to get the whole fish. And if you are curious what I was going to do with bones and head, is make a broth. If you want crabs or mussels, then skip right down to the counter and order from there. I went with a dozen of male crabs. The sign behind the counter said the male and female crabs were the same price but he told me that was wrong. Hmmmm.... why not fix it then? It was in dry erase. Either way, I still ordered a dozen of male blue crabs. They typically do cost more, so I wasn't to bothered. We also got a pound of scallops. These ran us about $15 lb. And they were big and juicy. So we came home and cooked our seafood and I must say that they were all so fresh and delicious. The red snapper was perfect. The scallops were sweet. And the male blue crabs were the best I have had since moving to Charlotte. So outside was a bit shady, but the product we received was spot on. It was fresh and I would definitely return. I like the fact that they were super busy, guarantees the product goes in and out fast. We would definitely return. read more

Love them!! Great selection, prices and customer service (#1 for me) GO THERE NOW!!! read more

Found this place on Yelp and decided to try it. Ran in around 7 pm and there were 2 other customers being helped. No "fishy" smell and it was rather clean for a seafood market. The deal is you pick your own fish and the staff prepares it for purchase. I wanted oysters and the gentleman helped me with my order. Slid down to register to pay the little lady...was in and out in no time. Oysters were great and I was satisfied. Will return for my seafood needs. read more

Very fresh seafood, love their fish. They will also fry the fish for you for an extra charge if you want. There is also other things other than seafood, if you want to stop and get a few things like an average corner market but with also asian/Hispanic food selections. Staff is very friendly, will answer any questions you have. read more

The ONLY place I go for FRESH seafood. A friend recommended Inner Harbor 7 years ago and I've been going ever since. They have. awide variety of seafood and it's always fresh. They will fry fish as well. They have live crabs, lobster and tilapia. They also have other items like Asian noodles, spices, dishes, etc. The staff is always very friendly. They also have great prices. read more

As a seafood lover, I felt super glad finding this place. Yesterday I got a dozen of female crabs, 2 dozens of clams, and 2 pounds of shrips (I know it is a lot!!). Everything was super fresh and I will definitely be back to check out the fishes! read more

I've been looking everywhere for live dungeness crabs and this place had it. I was really surprised and the variety of fish as well and there is no 'Fish' market smell when you walk in or while you're there. Friendly, helpfull and appreciative staff and owner Opened 7 days a week having access to fish when you need it is a very good thing. read more

Inner harbor is one of those diamonds in the rough for Charlotte. Great prices, local seafood and always great customer service.

Love this fish market! Great people work there, very helpful! You can't beat the selection they have of fresh fish. Very happy I found this place read more

Great place to get fresh seafood. Only been once but definitely going back. The flounder and shrimp had great flavor. Good prices. Cheaper that Harris teeter. They have whole lobsters, crabs and fish or you can get them cut into fillets. It's much different than what it looks like on the outside. They also sell beer and other convenience items. read more

Inner harbor has a great "everyday" selection (tilapia, catfish, mullet, croaker, pompano, flounder, perch, sheepshead, shrimp, and more), plus a rotating variety of things like salmon and tuna. You can get live lobsters, crabs, tilapia, and catfish. The prices are better than even the sale price at local grocery stores, and they'll cut the whole fish however you like it. They'll even fry it up for an extra dollar per pound (great batter!). You do need to be OK with seeing the whole fish (my wife makes me go in without her, since she gets a little freaked out!), but you get to pick the fish you like best. read more

A great place to choose any type of seafood! They'll even gut, cut and filet any fish of your choice. Try their chipotle crabs. They'll also fry your seafood for $1 per pound. For regular fried fish. It's not a sit down and dine place so you'd have to eat it at home. Also they have a great selection of seasoning. read more

It is 7:40 PM when I got here. The door locked and I see people inside including the owners. I wave. They look at me back. I ask if they are closed and no one answer me. Bad sign I am never coming back here again read more

I love love this place.... The thing I love the most anything that you pick out they will clean it.... Season it and cook it for you....the food that they prepare for you especially the fish taste soooo good.... Plus they are open 7 days a week..... read more

Being from the cost, I never thought I could find a sea food market like this around here. They have everything and then some.

I must say this place was clean and did not have that bad smell like some stores that I have been to. This is my favorite seafood market to go to. They clean your fish free of charge or fillet. They even cook your fish for you(they charge, but worth it) and also steam your crabs and lobster etc. as well. They have a lot variety of fish and grocery. People that were there was friendly. I would go back to this place. read more
