Blue Water Seafood Market

Im from Maryland I have visited all the blue claw spots in Corolla and this is the only one I will return to. Bluewater has #1s live or steamed to order and the proof is in the taste! Our family is all about quality and thats what we expect and get here!
They are located on hwy 12 at the south entrance of the Currituck Club 501C Old Stoney Rd Corolla NC 27 927 to be exact. Unilocal sent us to the wrong address so I thought that would be helpful to others!
They offer lots of other treats from the sea if you arent into the blue claws like we Marylanders are (;

Being from Baltimore and growing up on steamed crabs, my wife and I always try to treat our upstate NY friends to a Maryland-​style meal every year when we visit the family house in Duck. We’ve alternated between buying live crabs (twice in the past here), or when we’re not feeling like steaming a half-​bushel, we get them steamed (once here before). We opted to get them steamed this year as we had a houseful of friends and didn’t want to bother. We ordered a half-​bushel of #1 jimmies and 2 lbs. of steamed shrimp. Total cost with tax was just under $ 180.
Wow, were we disappointed. I’m not going to quibble about the size, the #1’s were running around 5″ everywhere with a few 6″ ones in the box. What I will critique is the steaming, if one could call it that. Both the crabs and shrimp were way over-​cooked, mushy and gross. The meat wasn’t bad, the Old Bay (or their version of it) was OK albeit a little sparse despite the fact we asked for it to be on the heavy side. We were totally embarrassed building up this meal to our friends only to be completely disappointed. This was the week after the 4^th of July, so it wasn’t like it was off-​season.
Do yourself a favor — if you really want good crabs, O’Neal’s in Wanchese is worth the drive. It seems Bluewater has gone the way of the other seafood market in Duck — overpriced, overhyped and willing to prey on the unsuspecting tourist. It’s a shame as we try to patronize the local businesses but our year-​round resident friends did warn us — we just didn’t listen. We will avoid Bluewater from now on and would recommend you do the same.

Blue Water is in a new convenient location out by the highway (NC12). Great service, they will give you suggestions on the freshest fish and how to prepare it. We shopped here several times, always friendly service, always the freshest fish, always priced right! Give them a try, you will be happy!

Best seafood for your vacation. Friendly folks with the right local connections to help deliver the freshest seafood.
You pay for what you get, I’ve never been a fan of the cheapest seafood. I just want the best local catch.
We’ve ALWAYS been happy with the service, selection, and qualityof Blue Water.

Keeping it short and sweet folks. Limited selection and very literally twice as expensive as the next place. Take the time to find another place a couple of miles up the road in Corolla.
There is a great roadside farmer’s market which sells the daily local catch across the street from Food Lion in Corolla, and, there is a decent seafood market in the Food Lion strip mall (again, in Corolla).

Friendly service, all the fresh seafood you could want. We picked up a ½ bushel (3.75 dozen-​ish) of larger crabs which had just come in the morning for $ 75. The little neck clams and shrimp were very tasty, although not inexpensive at $ ²⁰⁄₅₀ clams and $ 11.99/pound for shrimp.
But the location is good, the shop clean, food very nice quality and the service very good.
