We had the best experience with Willis seafood. The Aunt and Nephew running the place are absolutely wonderful and true definition of southern hospitality. The crab legs and shrimp we purchased were steamed and seasoned to perfection! If you’re looking for a place to get fresh seafood in Emerald Isle, don’t hesitate!

I visited Willis Seafood Market on Salter Path at Indian Beach, NC to get soft shell crabs. They had them fully cleaned and I purchased them as well as a pound of back fin crabmeat and half a pound of scallops . I sautéd the crab cakes and soft shells this evening and they were great! The prices seemed a bit high ( prices seem to be high everywhere these days) but the quality and freshness of the items I purchased were excellent . The staff was super friendly and helpful. I will definitely return because preparing the food from Willis Seafood Market is a nice alternative to eating out .

It says on Google its own but its not.......So I will eventually update this place review, but had to put something to be able to review. We were here for the pirate festival in November. We chose this location to eat. However they close for the winter on Oct 31st so have to wait till spring. Hours and dates need to be updated on Google.

One of our go to spots for fresh seafood! We picked up some shrimp and snapper. The shrimp were big and definitely worth the amazing price. Staff there are very kind and answered all of our questions with ease. Can’t wait to go back!! Highly recommend!

Wow! New to the area and just found our seafood market. We were greater by Jordan right at closing and he was kind enough not only to give us great fish but also gave us an amazing rundown of 5hings to do in the area. They have great things coming, and we'll be there!!
