    The owner operates this location and he is very pleasant to speak with. Call ahead with your order to ensure you can get crabs! Very clean shop and has all the tools you need to eat your crabs and other delicious seafood. The crabs were all jumbo/large and very meaty. We got a bushel of crabs and a few pounds of shrimp and clams for a very competitive price, around $400 or something like that. Some might think it's expensive but keep in mind we had absolute monster sized crabs. I would definitely go back when I'm back in the area!

    I have been coming to get any seafood I need from John since I moved to Avon a couple years ago. Upon entry you will notice how bright and clean everything is from the floor to the actual display counters. Another thing to note is how nice it also smells inside, not like many other fish markets I've been to before. John and his staff are always very nice and welcoming as well as genuinely interested in how you're going to prepare their product. They have also made some great recommendations to me on different ways to prepare certain things and also new fish I've never tried before. His recommendation to try tuna for a coconut ceviche was one of the best ways I've ever had it before and I would have never thought of that on my own! Definitely go see him when in Avon as he will set you up like no one else can! Picture is of some coconut mahi ceviche I made with avocado and tostones!

    Quality seafood as always. Tried the boil combos for the first time, didn't disappoint.

    Best seafood I've had in a long time! Will definitely be stopping in next time we are in town!

    We ordered the clam bake for 4 and added 2 extra crab claws plus 4 lobster tales. First off, the owner (really wish I would've gotten his name) was super nice and we talked for a few minutes. We also got the krab dip which was so so good. We've been to OBX several times and we always do the steamer buckets, this was by far the best we've had, the owner had everything seasoned perfectly! We'll definitely come back here next year!

    Ask the Community - Surf's Up Seafood Market

    If youre making a clam bake on an electric range, does it take longer than 16-20mins or shouldwe use more than 1 cupof liquid? We've been at it for about one hour and no steam thru the lid?

    If it’s flat top yes it will take longer where it doesn’t make contact with stove call us if you need further assistance. Thanks :)

    I am from Maryland with high standards for crab cakes and must say that these are the best I've had in the OBX!

    One of my favorite restaurants of all time…read more The mussels are soft where they almost melt in your mouth. There is almost no chewiness to them at all. The crispy smashers are both full of flavor and so crispy. Some of the potatoes don't get smashed enough and they are less flavorful but it tends to only be a couple of smashers out of the whole plate. The everything tuna was just as good as I remembered. The tuna almost melts in your mouth. The everything crust spices it up while complementing the avocado purée. The avocado puree does something that most restaurants fail to do, which is salt the avocado enough so it actually had flavor. I quite enjoyed the salad as the dressing had a strong soy flavor which was overpowering on some bites but perfect on others. The service was wonderful. The view of the water is such a joy. There is no place that I'd recommend more.

    Best meal in OBX, yet again…read more A must visit, we really love food and the staff was extremely attentive. Not once did we feel rushed, about a 10 minute wait for a table and sat at the bar for a drink while waiting. I had the beef short ribs (not a huge seafood guy), and the wife had the catch of the day entree with red drum. Very good! Presentation and taste all on point. The small plate item we had as an appetizer was also great, baked feta which was phenomenal. The "painkiller" drink is very tasty. This was our second time visiting over the last year, we'll be back for sure. Not to mention the restaurants namesake, after the owners doggo, Po. Their t shirts and branding are classy subtle..had to have a shirt! Check them out!
