What Seafood Do We Sell?
At Whalebone Seafood Market, the fresh options will change daily with the catch. Each morning, our fishermen haul in a new catch from the surrounding waters of the Outer Banks and deliver to our docks. Depending on the season and the weather conditions, each catch can be a boat loaded with a treasure of many delectable species of North Carolina Seafood. From there, only the best quality makes the cut for the market display. We clean, cut and prepare all of our locally sourced seafood to assure you the freshest product you will find. We also know that seafood lovers are fans of products that aren't caught locally, so you will also find your other favorites here as well. On any given day, these are the items you may expect to be featured on display:
TUNA • SHRIMP • SEA SCALLOPS • MAHI • SWORDFISH • FLOUNDER • WAHOO • GROUPER • SEABASS • TILE • RED SNAPPER • ROCKFISH • HALIBUT • SALMON • CRABMEAT • OYSTERS • CLAMS • MUSSELS • LOBSTER TAIL • LIVE LOBSTERS (ORDER IN HOUSE) • SOFT SHELL CRABS • BLUE CRABS • SNOW CRAB CLUSTERS • KING CRAB LEGS • DEVILED CRABS • HOUSE MADE CRAB CAKES & FISH CAKES • CRAB DIP • SEAFOOD SALAD • SMOKED TUNA SALAD • GATOR SAUSAGE • SLAW • HUSHPUPPIES • CORNBREAD • HOUSE MADE COCKTAIL & TARTAR • MARINADES & MORE…

Large Groups/Catering
​​We know how difficult it is to take a large group out to dinner, much less the cost to feed them all fresh seafood. Give us a call and we can help you plan an experience that will not disappoint your appetite or your pocketbook. We can also, depending on the season, do an oyster or crab feast!
