16 Best Seafood Restaurants near Leland

“Shrimp and grits were great. Raw oysters were good as well. The scallop appetizer was a little small, as were the scallops themselves, but still delicious. Lobster roll wasn't my favorite, although it was pretty meaty. i just prefer warm with butter to dip over cold. Egg white on the hangover fries was a little underdone but not to the point of being inedible. Although I absolutely hate undercooked egg whites, it's better than overcooked yolk in this instance. Went back twice since my first visit a month ago. Would recommend.“

“House salads were great. No wilting lettuce here. Mojitos were the best I ever had. Husband said long Island was perfect. Waiter was knowledgeable in suggestions and on top of his game. 3 filets, and two lobster tails. All cooked perfectly and flavorful. It will definitely be a stop every time we stay here“

“This evening we were excited to bring friends who had never been to Seabird, and it was my wife’s birthday! The food did not disappoint. Our friends loved it. It was good to see a restaurant with a sense of humor when they brought out a “no calorie” birthday cake! (A lit candle stuck to a dessert plate)“

“This is a gem! Quaint, top notch restaurant. Servers were attentive and the food was unbelievable! Best food we ate while visiting Wilmington, NC. Forget the riverside restaurants, you can just do the Riverwalk and then head here. This was one of the best meals we ever had. Well done!“

“I finally went to On Thyme yesterday after wanting to try it for months. It was well worth the wait. So good! My friend and I split the shrimp po boy with fried okra and the hot honey chicken sandwich with loaded fries. Nice sized shrimp with their awesome On Thyme sauce which kind of reminds me of a Cajun remoulade. Hot honey chicken sandwich had a huge cutlet of chicken. Everything had a nice breading that wasn't too heavy. Generous portions and delicious! The staff was so friendly and attentive. Outstanding service!!! The welcoming atmosphere from the staff is what really made it for me. Food was fantastic!“

“As newcomers to the Wilmington area, we are always looking for great food, drink, service and atmosphere. Three10 did not disappoint. A quaint bungalow turned restaurant in the Brooklyn Arts District, with a small but inviting dining room area and a dining bar that faces the very organized and chill kitchen. The dining bar was our choice. Jill was our primary service person working alongside Claire. They were both excellent! Knowledgeable, professional and personable; not easy find, regardless of caliber of restaurant. I started with the cocktail "The One Where They Brown the Butter", which was bourbon based, had hints of sweet from the browned butter and brown sugar, although not overpowering. It was delicious and easy to drink.We started our meal with the Hushpuppies, Tuna Tartare and raw Oysters, all of which were excellent. The pepper jelly base under the hushpuppies was subtle but added so much flavor. The base of diced beets/sweet potatoes with the Tuna Tartare was seasonally fresh.The 2 NC blue crabcakes had a subtle cayenne heat, balanced with the creaminess of the celery root gribiche and made with the same base as the hushpuppies. Needless to say, we did not have room for dessert.....Overall, our first visit was excellent, not only for the great food but for the knowledgeable and friendly service. We will be back!“

“Ordered the wing sampler. Very good flavors, well cooked, excellent value. Also tried the crab rice. Good flavor and value. Ordering on the web is a little quirky. Excellent service at the window. Ready for pick up when promised. I will definitely return.“

“I love coming here for a quick bite to eat. It’s always so refreshing and delicious. The people working are super nice and I always have a great time talking to them. The lunch special is awesome and if you aren’t a super big eater, the kids portion is awesome too. Their boba is really good too, I love the unique flavors like Durian. This is by far my fave neighborhood spot!Vegetarian options: You can get tofu instead of fish and other options for bases and most of the toppings are vegetarian friendly.“

“Food was delicious (I got the weekly “Blue Plate”, see attached photo); environment was clean and orderly; the employees were very friendly and helpful.Overall, 100/10 experience!!Not to mention, the market didn’t smell nearly as fishy as you would expect for a seafood market!!“

“I love Cape Fear Seafood and have been many times. This was my first visit to this particular location. I ordered the Fresh Catch Tacos, which were made with grilled Haddock, and they were delicious! They don't have any kind of salsa to offer, but they do come with a Mango Pico de Gallo, which was good, but I prefer a little heat.I sat at the bar and had fantastic service.“

“We had a great dining experience along with our 2 pre-school aged kiddos. We called 30 mins in advance to try to make reservations. They took our name and number and suggested to be added to the waitlist which helped cut down our wait time when we arrived. Service was excellent and food is delicious. Would highly recommend the Crab Cakes and the Fisherman’s Stew. This place is a gem and looking forward to coming back!“

“I've been searching for a mediterranean place aside from the other two in town because I wanted something more. One fills the fast food niche, another is for quick gyros, and Black Sea Grill is for everything else.My wife and I really enjoyed our dinner here and tried as much food as we could eat to really judge it. I was amazed I hadn't found it already. We will definitely be back and I'll be bringing more people! This visit led my wife and I to go to the Halal Market on Carolina Beach Road the very next day to try to recreate some things we ate here.“

“I have been a customer for years. Recently, they restarted their home delivery and it is the bomb! They sent an email out on Tuesdays with their specials and fresh Fish list. All you do is fill out a form with your information and what you would like in your order. You even include how you want your order prepared, such as seasoned steamed shrimp or fillet without skin.Deliveries are on Thursdays and usually midday to early afternoon, For me anyway.If I am out running errands, I simply leave a note on my door and a cooler and ask the delivery to go in the coolerI just picked up my delivery for this week off my porch, some fresh tilefish, and mahi-mahi with last of the season oysters, and they even included a spinach and artichoke crab dipI have been ordering from the service for about 6 to 7 weeks and look forward to it every week. It’s so convenient for me and the service is great. My products are always fresh and ready to be prepared for cooking.Thanks Seaview!“

“What a fun day! We used the parking lot and one we had that parking app downloaded, off we went! It was just a short walk over to this historical restaurant with the most beautiful old real wooden floors and we got a great booth! It wasn't busy for lunch and the waiter was wonderfully friendly! Hubby tried the BBQ Clam Chowder and it was loaded with clams with just a hint of bbq in a delicious homemade cream based sauce not too thick at all! He also got the burger cooked perfectly and I got the linguini and calamari! I'm Still thinking about what a great day it was as we left and car toured the old huge historical beautiful buildings down the block before leaving Wilmington! Not too far from MB and a refreshing change from Charleston, but with a lot of similar good vibes!“

“I got the wings, shrimp, fries and Fish. It was decent, I believe the habanero sauce on my wings made the fish taste waaaay better. The seasoning was good, I wish I was able to sit down but my car was fine. Service was ok, not the greatest.“

“Service is always the best.. Seafood is always fresh..Don't underestimate this little seafood market..It has lots of varieties of seafood. Come check them out..Needed fresh shrimp for fishing called 5 different markets no luck.Called them they had plenty..Drop by..“
