We Know Outer Banks Seafood
Since 1985, Whalebone Seafood Market, located at the 16 ½ milepost on the bypass in Nags Head, has been the place for locally sourced North Carolina seafood in the area. For generations, the Daniels family has lived and breathed the seafood traditions of the Outer Banks. Thanks to our lifelong ties with local fishermen, some of whom are family, we bring you a daily selection of hand‑picked, top‑quality seafood pulled straight from our surrounding waters. Step into our market and you’ll be greeted by a vibrant display of the freshest seafood and a team who loves sharing their knowledge. We’re here to help you choose, prepare, and enjoy an unforgettable Outer Banks seafood experience—always with the freshest catch around.
