Captain Jack's Seafood Market

During our stay at Ocean Isle Beach, this restaurant became our top choice for fresh seafood, both for dining in and for taking home at the end of our trip. The quality and selection were excellent, and we also appreciated the farm-fresh eggs and locally made key lime pie available for the week. We particularly enjoyed the ceviche, tiradito, and poke bowls, and we consistently found sushi-grade fish to incorporate into these dishes.

Raise your hands for the best jumbo lump crab cakes! They are made in-house and are absolutely fabulous. I lightly browned them using The Olive Press Meyer Lemon extra virgin olive oil.

We waited an entire hour for our food to be served, but the two young servers were clearly overwhelmed. The food was just average; however, the crab cakes were undercooked, which made them inedible, and we didn't want to wait another hour for a fresh batch. The sweet potato dish was disappointing as well; it was more like a mushy mess drenched in an unappetizing sauce. On the positive side, the seafood was decent!

This place is a must stop for sea food. Great selection, super friendly staff.

Love Captain Jacks, easy to get in, out great selection always fresh
