It’s been some years since I’ve eaten here but it still does not disappoint. The lady that took my order was very sweet. Everything was cooked to perfection.

Appreciate the consistent variety on hand. Hope to see even more as the seasons change. Let me know if y'all ever get rock or dungeness crabs!!

So many different kinds of fresh fish and shrimp. The prices were amazing. They also have a take out for cooked seafood plates and very reasonable prices.

I’m hooked on Capital Seafood!

Capital Seafood in Durham, NC feels like home the moment you walk through the door. Mr. Dwayne Green, Cynthia, and the entire staff greet you with a hello, a smile, and the kind of warmth that makes you feel like family. After 75 years of service, Capital Seafood continues to serve fresh seafood with pride, care, and genuine kindness. As a writer and storyteller, I need moments where I can pause, breathe, and relax after a full day of creativity. For me, crab picking is one of those moments.

I am originally from the Washington, DC area, where crabs are more than food. They are comfort, family, friends, laughter, stories, and memories around the table. Capital Seafood brings that nostalgia of growing up eating crabs with family and friends right here to North Carolina.

Cynthia always greets me with a smile and kindness, and that means everything. Don’t miss the pleasant voice message when you call, it adds to the charm and warmth of the place.
Capital Seafood is located at 1304 University Dr, Durham, NC 27707.

Tell Cynthia, Margaret Writes sent you.

This place a bit of a funky smell upon entering. Prices are fair. Fresh fish options looked okay. They do sell blue crabs, fresh shrimp… and also soul food. Just work on the cleanliness a bit and the customer service could be better. The ladies that work the cash register are a bit cold. The gentle seem to be friendly and answer your questions kindly. NICE customer service goes a long way!
