We love Harbor House!! We’ve been coming for over a decade and this year Vicky hooked up our family with a Southern Boil for our Thanksgiving feast!! It was delicious & so worth it! They also made us a Key Lime pie (homemade)!! It was very good! Complete with homemade whip cream! The boil was DELICIOUS and we have enough for a “frutti di mare” dinner tomorrow night! We Purchase shrimp enchiladas, Hush puppies And all kinds of delicious homemade goods from Harbor House it’s one of our favorites in Hatteras!! Check out Vicky’s menu she has crab dip, clam chowder, coleslaw, just so much to choose from For every meal. She even offered to make us some delicious breakfast! If you order from Harbor House, you won’t be disappointed! PLUS, it’ll be provided by one of the most sweetest southern

Harbor House Seafood Market is absolutely worth the 20-minute drive from Cape Hatteras. Whether you’re craving fresh local seafood to cook yourself or want it expertly steamed to perfection, this place delivers every time. The quality is unmatched—everything is incredibly fresh, from the shrimp and scallops to the fish and crab. You can truly taste the difference. What really sets Harbor House apart, though, is the amazing customer service. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about what they do. They’ll happily answer questions, offer cooking tips, and help you pick out the best catch of the day. It’s not just a market—it’s an experience. If you’re in the Outer Banks and love seafood, don’t miss this gem. It’s a local treasure that’s well worth the short trip.

I stumbled upon Harbor House almost by accident and WOW, what an amazing first visit! Had I looked and read other reviews ahead of time, I would have already known Vicki is the best!! She was so friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. Everything I came home with was fresh and top quality! She whipped me up some fresh homemade cocktail sauce on the spot as well … soo good! Don’t pass on the smoked fish dip either. If you are looking for the freshest seafood and top notch customer service on Hatteras, this is your spot!

Great good!! Owner Vicki is very friendly and accommodating. Told us some fun facts about the area. The spices they use must be homemade, it tasted a lot better than store bought old spice mixed. We order the crab leg platter, added a side of scallops for 4 people. So much food! We had leftover for lunch. Consider what we had pay for in store this is definitely better value and love supporting local own small business♥️ P.S. Ask vicki about her family’s daily catch! The blue crab dip we picked up from her, sooo soooo yummy. PPS. She even gave us the huge placemat! Had made cleaning up after meal so simple☺️ PPPS! The crab enchiladas 🤤🤤🤤 only wish we had order more🤤🤤 Highly recommend you call ahead to order for pickup! Will take her about 2 hours to prepare everything for you.
