About Cap'n Willis Seafood Market

Cap'n Willis Seafood Market has become a ritual for families who visit Emerald Isle year after year. Customers rave about the quality and freshness of everything from shrimp and scallops to tuna steaks and oysters — the kind of seafood that makes a family dinner something to remember.\n\nBeyond the fresh catch, the selection here goes deep: crab cakes, a wide variety of crab meat options, frozen breaded clams and calamari, house-made tartar sauce, bottled hot sauces, and plenty of ready-to-cook picks that make beach-house cooking easy. Staff are consistently called out in reviews for being friendly, helpful, and — in at least one case — willing to stay open a little late so a vacationing family didn't miss their annual seafood dinner.\n\nWhether you're grabbing dinner for tonight or stocking the freezer to bring a taste of the coast back home, stop in and see what's fresh.

We ordered 1/2 bushel of crabs and they didnt have any taste. You must steam crabs with old bay on crabs prior to steaming, add rock salt, also needed some vinegar, we also throw a beer in. Its a Maryland thing. Believe me they TASTE better!!! Steam your own crabs DO NOT LET THEM STEAM them. The crabs could have been good if steamed properly.

The selection of shrimp and seafood accountrement is fantastic! We were able to find everything we needed, and more.

We travel to Emerald Isle annually with our whole family. The highlight of our trip is coming and picking out fresh seafood and cooking it together as a family. We’ve gotten shrimp, scallops, tuna steaks and salmon and every bit of it has always been good quality and perfectly fresh. We were running late a few days ago and they even stayed open for…
