On the last day of my stay in Avon, wanted to bring some outer banks home. With 6 hours drive ahead of me, I wanted something fresh but will withstand the drive during summer time. Sunrise offers perfectly fresh local fish and frozen ones too. I took home a hunk of tuna, sea bass and shrimps. They were still so fresh once thawed, even after sitting in my freezer for another month. The guys at the store were kind and friendly. Happy to explain and offer options. Definitely recommend! read more

My husband went here to grab us steamed shrimp for dinner! We went close to closing, so they already turned off the steamer. But we got a lb of shrimp and cooked it easily in the oven. Delicious! My husband said that the place was nice but also very simple. We'd come back! read more

Sunrise Seafood Market - Shrimp! They turned the steamer off already, so I heated them in the oven at our rental house. - Seafood Markets Near Me - Avon, North Carolina

Amazing selection of everything you want. Loved the open clean look of the place. We got shrimp and scallops to add to our steaks. Ended up just doing the seafood since we got so much for a great price. $100 fed 5 adults with leftovers. read more

Great selection of fresh seafood and reasonable prices. Every year on vacation we always stop here to have a huge seafood night. I'm not sure if the gentleman is the owner, didn't even catch his name, he's been there for years and is always so helpful and friendly. We usually order a bunch of shrimp, scallops, and some types of fish. This time we ordered some Spanish Mackerel which was fantastic! Got some seasonings and took everything home to make our own seafood boil following one of their handy country boil recipe cards. It turned out amazing! Absolutely love this seafood market and look forward to it every year. read more

Love this place! Outstanding crab cakes. And we love their fresh snapper and red drum when available. Always fresh and carefully packaged for transport home. read more

This place had the freshest seafood that you could buy in the area. From what I gathered, just about everything closes down at the end of November. Few restaurants are open and maybe one gas station remains open until the following March of each year. Everything comes back alive. I visited this place 3 out of the 5 days spent camping Oceanside for my birthday. I purchased head off shrimp in the shell, scallops, homemade crab cakes, cajun sausages, and a few oysters. Each night, I cooked this fresh catch on the grill at the campsite, adding fresh corn, fresh garlic, and potatoes I picked up at the local grocery store. I made foil packs with all the ingredients, added half a stick of butter, and let it steam for about hour. It was the most tenderest seafood pack ever! The crab cakes were delicious and were eaten with fresh scrambled eggs and avocado for breakfast! Can't wait to go back to the Outer Banks! read more

This place is an absolute gem! The staff is outstanding! They're knowledgeable, friendly and full of helpful suggestions and tips to cook a delicious meal. We've only been there once but will return and have no hesitation recommending to others. The market is so clean and spotless. We tried the steamed seasoned shrimp, crab cakes, scallops, hush puppies, key lime pie, ice cream sandwiches, a package of risotto, and a variety of sauces. We also tried the house seasoning for the shrimp. Everything was fresh and top notch. You won't be sorry if you stop in here! read more

This is the best seafood market I've ever been to. Spotless. Actually spotless is an under exaggeration. Amazingly clean. All the workers I dealt with over a couple trips were fantastic and super helpful, give them an idea of what you're planning on cooking/ number of people/ etc and they will be glad to give you suggestions. Good selection and also have a solid amount of other dry goods you may need for preparing the fresh fish you purchase. Great spot I can not recommend enough! read more

Service was excellent. Prices were fabulous. Too bad it's in North Carolina instead of Florida, where I live!

To be honest, I can't really add more than what others have said. It's all true: this place is so friendly, so clean, and so well organized. I come here year after year when visiting the OBX and I've never been disappointed. The crab cakes are too notch as are the home made ice cream sandwiches! Holy crap. That are all soooooo good! read more

Super clean store. I was surprised to see the high-quality sashimi fish meat. They also have Wasabi and Nori in store. Rare find on the island. read more

This is the best Seafood market in the area! Everything is super fresh and priced right. We tried the Scallops, which were huge. Crab Cakes (the absolute best), Red Snapper, Shrimp, Hush puppies.

We took home a whole box of Oysters, Shrimp, and more of everything else! The service was excellent and everything was so clean! Can't wait to return! read more

Every year we order seafood from here for our traditional low country boil. While I don't normally participate because I don't like it, I was elated when there were crab cakes on the menu. As a Marylander, I was hesitant to purchase them. I was assured they would be up to Maryland crab cake standards- and they certainly were! Highly recommend. read more

Is there a rating higher than five stars? This place deserves it. Extremely clean store. No fishy smell. Seafood is the highest quality and amazingly fresh & delicious. There are a few shelves of seafood dinner-related groceries, a refrigerator with some sauces and drinks, and two small freezers with specialty ice cream sandwiches and key lime pies. COVID protocols are followed to a T. Proprietor is always fully masked, signage is prominently displayed, and there's comfortable distance between register & customer area. read more

On our way to our rental home on Saturday afternoon, we noticed this spot and dropped in to order seafood for a paella dinner a few days off. Well, the shrimp, mussels, and clams were outstanding. The order was ready after 11AM on Wednesday, as promised by Mark. All was securely packaged and ready to take home. My husband (the chef!) was very happy with the service and quality of the items we bought! read more

We went twice during our stay to purchase seafood. We got fresh red snapper and shell off shrimp both times. The fish and shrimp were very good both times. But even more importantly the service was so good. They were quick, kind and efficient. A young man helped us the first time and a young lady the second. The place is spotlessly clean. I would definitely recommend read more

This market is fantastic! We cooked at our rental home for every night except one and we all agreed the seafood from here was our best meals.

We pan fried them and they melted in our mouths! read more

Being from Pittsburgh where we do not get the freshest seafood, we stopped by Sunrise Seafood on 17 Aug. We talked to the owner and he suggested that we try "blues". So we purchased tuna, shrimp, crab cakes, their own spice packet and blues...It was the freshest and best seafood I've had in a while. The best seafood market ever, clean, very helpful and the tips on how to prepare the seafood was spot on. Can't wait to get back next year. read more

Delicious fresh shrimp & fish! The Hush puppies were also excellent. Definitely try the chocolate covered key lime pie on a stick, the best! read more

Great seafood marketplace. Can only give 4 stars as they refused to cut the grouper for two. Would only sell whole. All other transactions (many this week) were great but this was disappointing. read more

Steamers were fresh and delicious. Very reasonably priced. Store was clean, bright, inviting. The owner (and his daughter) were precious! I will happily be back! read more

Decided to do a Low-Country Boil while staying in Rodanthe, NC. The shop was very clean. They have all the ingredients you will need for a seafood feast. Bought some NC shrimp, crab legs, and even got the andouille sausage from them. It was the perfect end to the vacation week. The desserts were amazing also. Try the ice cream sandwich and the mini pies. read more

Sunrise Seafood Market - crab legs, corn, potatoes, corn on the cob - Seafood Markets Near Me - Avon, North Carolina

This place is actually shocking with how clean it is. I mean...it says something when you're in a fish market and it doesn't smell like fish. Mark is so friendly and really knows how to cook up some shrimp! We love his sauces you can find in the fridge at the store. GET SOME! The prices are very reasonable. Next time I come I am getting some of those tasty desserts in the freezer. read more

Steamed shrimp always amazing, we like the spicy, but also get the mild for the kids. We have been coming to Salvo and Avon for 10 years and always visit. Tried Key Lime Pie this trip- was worth every calorie! read more

Remembered my face from this morning. read more

I needed to chuck together a dinner for fifteen, & the owner? manager? Mark, anyway, walked me through all the options the moment the words "fish taco" left my mouth. Everything he has on display looks obscenely beautiful, and their grouper, which I landed on, is no joke! Thanks so much! read more

I love the local healthy food here, like the super amazing smoked tuna salad, Kombucha, seaweed salad, locally hand harvested sea salt. Super clean, fresh and healthy energy. Meticulous care to every detail and quality. read more

I called ahead to ask about head on shrimp, the owner explained he was closing in 10 minutes. We were 1 hr away. He gave me his personal phone number to call when we got close. What AMAZING SERVICE, SUPER FRIENDLY AND STORE IMMACULATE!! Thank you so much for helping us. read more

We purchased fresh tuna and red snapper. Very fresh and priced well. Establishment is very very clean!

Fresh seafood at reasonable prices. The facility is very clean and the service is great.

This has been my go to seafood store in Avon for years. It is always well stocked and when'you walk in the door you can smell how clean and fresh everything is. This year I purchased a pound of shrimp and a pound of scallops for surf and turf shish kabobs. My son grilled them and it was exactly what you want for a vacation feast. When it was time to leave I needed shrimp to bring home as thank you my neighbors who are so kind and they shrink wrapped them and quick froze them in packages so that they travelled home perfectly. This is exactly the sort of business that deserves to be patronized over and over again. Love them. read more
