There are few better times in life to get seafood than when you’re on the Outer Banks, so take advantage of the many Outer Banks seafood markets sprinkled throughout the area. Whether you like to try the most exotic fish in the market or prefer to play it safe with tuna or shrimp, these seafood markets offer daily fresh catches, like mahi mahi, and imported delicacies, like Scottish salmon. Some of the Outer Banks seafood markets are giant establishments that cater to all sorts of tastes, selling both local catches and imported fish along with other groceries. Other markets are tiny huts that have served locals for years (some have been in business for more than a century!) and can take fish from the ocean and into your kitchen within a few hours. Check out the below listing of Outer Banks seafood markets to see where you can catch some delicious dinner during your vacation.
