Yes, we dictated the amount of seafood we wanted but there was SUCH an abundance of potato and mushy overcooked bland corn that the whole thing was pretty unappealing. It was also very expensive for the amount of seafood actually in it. Would definitely go in for fresh fish and seafood to cook at home. Would not do a pre-ordered boil again.

I popped in to grab some fresh seafood before heading back home to Cary.

The fish seemed much fresher at Blue Ocean and the smell was so much milder. I had a lot of questions and the guy at the counter was so helpful and friendly! He also did an amazing job packing my fish and shrimp with tons of ice for the drive. I made some of the shrimp as soon as I got home and it was awesome! Hoping to plan another trip very soon and will definitely be back to stock up!

I joined Walking Fish's Community Supported Fishery last fall and have been ecstatic with the…read moreweekly fish delivery. You can choose the amount of fish you want (2lb or 4 lb), on a weekly or biweekly basis. You have the option to get your fish fileted or just headed/gutted. The options range from oysters, clams, snapper, mahi, flounder, bluefish, mullet, hard shell crab, soft shell crab and gorgeous shrimp! I believe I left off some of the varieties I have received but I think you get a pretty good idea. After three seasons I will continue to support this sustainable fishery. I think it is a great way to eat the way I want to in a way that is not environmentally detrimental. Also I don't have to leave Durham to get fresh fish on a weekly basis! Keep in mind if you consider joining that just like a CSA you pay at the beginning of the season trusting in your fishers to bring you the best they can. You do not get to select what you receive each week because it is based on water temperature, and fish in the area at that season. Some weeks the weather/water isn't permitting so they may move that delivery and add a week at the end of the season but I have been extremely satisfied.

We are outdoors on the patio and it turned into a beautiful evening. The server, Timmy, was a tentative and had great recommendations. He did very well with our group of eight we never had to wait, but he wasn't overly intrusive either. His recommendation for the tuna was spot on. It was a delicious meal. I will remember.

I am in here on a Monday night at 9:30 and there is no where for anyone else to sit. So make a reservation. Also, they are not open on Tuesdays & Wednesdays. Onto why they are in high demand. The food is exceptional, we tried many different dishes and each one was perfect. From the seasoning to the presentation and even the garnish, everything was spot on. The staff was all very pleasant and friendly. Our waitress was very informative and helpful when we requested what she would suggest, super great personality and a perfect service experience. In short, if you are in Beaufort and you're looking for a great restaurant that is a little off the main path check this place out. Just don't tell everyone - or we may never be able to get in again!

Dozens of tents and vendors along the walkways and under the trees next to the Carteret County Courthouse. Fresh vegetables and fruits, fresh fish on ice, coffee, artisan breads and pastries, arts and crafts including pottery and paintings and candles and jewelry. Even the county's bookmobile was here like a roving little free library. Live music and community organizations. I enjoyed a coffee and wandered. Lots of interesting merchandise, many interesting people. Parking is a challenge but I pounced on a space when someone departed. [Review 769 of 2025 - 4201 in North Carolina - 24329 overall]
