Potter's Seafood

Great local fresh seafood vendor - fresh and frozen fish, shrimp, oysters , and fabulous crab cakes! Ask the staff for storage recommendations and recipe ideas, the are very knowledgeable. They also print their own cute super soft teeshirts - get a few!!

What a fantastic find this cute lil seafood market is. They have all of the fresh catches of the day up on the chalkboard and Billy is super friendly, knowledgeable & helpful. My bro & I picked out some freshly caught Vermilion snapper, trigger, grunt & flounder. Nigel, the resident pelican🦤, is a friendly happy camper with his daily fish guts. He strutted up like he owned the place & was full of personality. The owners keep him alive & well stocked with fish each winter to make sure he's cared for and doesn't starve. You get to pick your fish out & they go right around the corner to the sink to clean & debone them for you if you wish. You can sit right on the water & watch them clean your fish. Doesn't get any more fresh or fun than that. Don't forget to look for Nigel! Billy had tons

Tho the historic building itself is a darling iconic photo worthy spot at the waterfront, Potter’s family-owned for generations fresh seafood shoppe in Southport is worth a long drive to sample! A weekend visit to this coastal town isn’t complete without fresh shrimp to cook in your rental or bring home on ice! We are so happy they survived Ian and reopen this week!!

Pelicans wait on their pier. They know fish (Potter’s … and Pelicans).

Went here back in early 2020 on the recommendation of a local. It was the best shrimp I ever have. Everytime I'm in the area, I make sure to stop at Potter's. A friendly & helpful family business that stands by their quality. Highly recommend!
