The Capital Seafood Market is the best around! The people are always nice! Whether you are getting fresh or frozen seafood, or ordering prepared plate(s), it's always great! Mrs. Terry R.

I always enjoy my food from there!!! Mr. Clarence and his staff are always very pleasant to me and one of the staff members call me Ms. P😊, she recognizes me when I enter and I love that. Occasionally they may get my order wrong but when/if that happens they are quick to rectify the situation without any trouble. I can't get there as often as I used to, but the service I receive never changes...Love It!!!

My personal favorite is the Popcorn Shrimp lunch tray 7.99 as long as you get there by 3pm.

The fried croaker fish dinner was so tasty and fresh. Everything is cooked to order, and fresh. I also got the red velvet cake. They have the best red velvet cake! You got a try it. I did a carry out, because they don’t really have a place to sit and dine. However, just up the street, the City of Durham North Carolina maintains an open public play park with tables to sit and eat. It is not very far from Capital seafood.

So I've been in Durham a minute (IYKYK) 😆. But I never had this little gem. Glad I did! Customer service was amazing and didn't feel rushed for it being my first time. The lady at the counter answered all questions I had and gave me top-tier service especially as the store became super busy! I'll be back. (Oh I had the whitening and fries with coleslaw) their coleslaw was like a whole cabbage cut(fresh man... they cut it) 😆 at least that's how I felt. Just try it. The fish was fried well. Little more salt but that may be a personal perspective. Again, I'll be back! Because it was fish... I ate that in the car...🤭

THIS IS THE ONLY PLACE I WILL BUY FISH FROM. I love the atmosphere and I always feel so welcomed. I used to buy the prepared food but the consistency in quality started to change and that happens with a lot of places for various reasons so please try it anyway. It was delicious at some point. Now my fresh fish, it’s non-negotiable, Capital Seafood is the only place that will get my business. They are fast and efficient when it comes to cleaning the fish and always have a great variety. I LOVE IT HERE. And no lol I wasn’t bribed for my review. This is 100% from the h e a r t.

You can buy fresh seafood there. And have them cook it to perfection for a decent price. Definitely come here if you are buying in bulk or if you just a little. They can help all size orders. Family owned and operated.

I give this place 10 thumbs up! My opinion! I'm from Charlotte but I had work related business in Durham NC. I was hungry for some home cooking and the first place my eyes paid attention to was this Capital seafood sign. But the kicker was the parking lot that was over crowded. To make this short. I ordered a plate of pig feet with Mac n cheese and candy yams!! People I can not put into words the way this food tasted. Good,great, delicious, fabulous, melted n my mouth,too good for the price,! Seriously people I wanted to ask them if they could move to Charlotte NC, I have never tasted pug feet that burst open in your mouth!! I couldn't help talking about it while I was stuffing my mouth!! Ths lace is a must!! And the prices are good, not too expensive, they have full meals under $10!! And it's hard to find great food at a low price!! Keep doing what you do Capital!! I enjoyed every drop of it!!
