Carteret's Local Seafood Market

Captain Jim's Seafood Market specializes in a wide selection of seafood harvested by our local fishermen in Morehead City, NC. We stock our market year-round with fresh fish and shellfish at prices within budget. We prepare everything on-site to bring our customers the freshest and cleanest seafood around. Choose from local favorites like fresh North Carolina shrimp, American red snapper, and swordfish, or leave with the rib eye of fish, grouper. Not sure what to buy or how to prepare it? Our expert team will provide you with recommendations, show you how to cook it, what pairs well with it, and how to serve it to your friends and family. Please stop by our market to see what we have in stock.
