the customer service was amazing, he waited there while the wife and I was choosing what to get. Very patient. If I'm ever in town I'll definitely stopping in here. After reviewing their website; I definitely found some new ways to cook too, 5 stars !!!!!

They have some of the best apparel I've ever seen. Absolutely fire logo and the sweatshirts are extremely soft and reasonably priced. Really classic stuff

Great fresh seafood right by the water. You can see the guys in the back cleaning their fresh catch.

Been going to Matt's for years - always fresh off-the-boat seafood. Great selection.

This is a wonderful fresh seafood market. Prices are reasonable and they have really cool items in the store area. They are busy but it’s a easy in and out when you know what you want. We got two types of shrimp and mussels. They don’t steam for you so we steamed at home. For convenience it would have been nice to have it steamed. I will definitely visit again.

I visit Motts last Saturday the two guys that was up front was very helpful and the man who cleans the fish did an amazing job cleaning the fish!! The fish was very fresh just like they went out back and caught those fish

I never miss a stop at this place when I go to the beach in Wrightsville. If I'm staying in a rented house we get fresh seafood from Mott's for one or two meals and then even if I'm in a hotel for just one night I always make a pit stop on the way out of town. They have the freshest most carefully presented fish. It never leaves contact with ice for more than a few moments from the time it comes off the boat. They weigh it and package it and load me up with ice for the 2-hour drive home. It's the best seafood around. If you come at the right time, usually mid afternoon when boats are dropping off fresh catch, you might get site of a giant swordfish or tuna being carved up. If you can see them cleaning the fish you know you're getting fresh fish! The selection is as broad as the ocean, and the only thing I don't believe is local is salmon but they carry it because people just always want salmon. As good as salmon can be just skip that and get something that came out of the local waters: tuna, mahi, flounder, drum, grouper, redfish, blue fish, sea bass, the list goes on. There's also local shrimp and other kinds of shellfish. It's phenomenal. I just can't tell you how much I love this place.Besides fish you can get enough extra things to throw together a meal. Simple vegetables, potatoes, prepared foods, crackers , seasonings, and a few other pantry staples. Just go here and enjoy a very exceptional and kind of rare seafood market.

Outstanding five-star fresh seafood, veggies, and more at Motts Channel Seafood – over the bridge and on the channel at Wrightsville Beach. See photos...

We’ve bought shrimp, scallops, and salmon from this cute little market, and can I just say the quality is fantastic!! You can practically see the fresh catches being brought in and cleaned in the back. The seafood is wonderful and very fresh, and I really appreciate the selection of fruits and veggies that you can buy there as well. I’ve bought from here twice and have been perfectly satisfied. This place blew my expectations. Just a note that you should bring at least 30-50 bucks on you if you’re buying seafood per pound.
