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.

Every time I come to this place the customer service is horrible . Who wants to order yet along eat from a place where the customer service is rude. Cashier at the hot food counter always has an attitude. It is sad I grew up coming to this place and the customer service did not used to be like this. The customer service used to be Great. Every time I ordered my food it was old or just did not taste as good as it used too or missing items. The people who work there don't look clean enough to be serving food. I can say the only good thing about this place is the seafood is always fresh the fillet fish is never filleted correctly. I did visit last week the lady yelled we closed with a nasty attitude . I did not realized they closed at 6. I almost didn't come back but I decided to come back a few days later and a gentlemen went over and beyond to assist me with my purchase. I bought Blue crabs for my Grandson. Seeing the smile on my Grandson face meant everything to me.. If this Restaurant gave excellent customer Service and put their love into the food and leave their attitude at home ,they would see an immediate increase in customers.
