You can buy fresh seafood and they also will cook it for you.

We had an awesome dinner by ordering small portions and sampling off of menu. The crab clusters were small but had the best taste of any crab I’ve ever eaten. The fried shrimp were delicious, shrimp scampi my husband enjoyed more than I as they were in a cream sauce and I prefer butter. Oysters on half shell were big, ice cold and excellent. The fried okra needed a little more cooking and as soon as we mentioned it to Angie, our waitress, she immediately took it back to kitchen and returned with more that were crispier. I would like to see more atmosphere such as soft music, table cloths and possibly candles on table. We need a restaurant to replace our lost Cattleman’s! We will return.

Not lots of selections but I got the shrimp Island bowl. I asked the rice be left off and they obliged. It was delicious though I might suggest just a touch of mango in that would send it over the top! Little pricey but doable. Was very loud was the only complaint I had but you can expect that in a small crowded space.

Excellent seafood and competent, quick service, Hard working and friendly folks, too. It’s simply the best seafood, especially considering it’s take out only. They have seafood plates, or you can select what you want from the fresh seafood section and they’ll fry or steam it up for you. Do yourself a favor and give them a try!

Food was okay. Smell of the place is off putting. Owner's replies to peoples' opinions are very unprofessional and rude. You claim to be so fresh and clean and you have a 95 sanitary score and 5 inches of moldy dust caked on your fan blades hanging above your fresh seafood. I appreciate it's a family owned business but don't be so triggered about what people have to say about THEIR experience. i'm sure this will get a less than positive response from the owner and a quote from the bible. Have at it. These 1 star reviews won't ruin your business. Calm down.

If your looking for fried seafood, nobody beats Pelican Seafood. Absolutely the best. I go there at least once a week. My favorites are the Flounder w/ shrimp, or the Grouper bites. Their fries with a unique seasoning, and hushpuppies are very good too.

Fair at best- store was dirty and had Christmas decorations hanging in July. Lady working up front was not very nice. Seemed very annoyed to have to answer a couple of simple questions. Food was meh. Would go elsewhere.

Great way to get your money’s worth in seafood without paying high restaurant prices. They will steam the shrimp with old bay so all you need to do is eat it!

We’ve been driving to Oak Island and Pelican Seafood for our fresh seafood for the past three summers when we come for our annual Holden Beach visit. At this point, we prefer to get our own fresh steamed shrimp and seafood here at Pelican Seafood than to go out to a restaurant to eat. We prep our own seafood boil, delicious scallops, steamed shrimp, crab legs and have a feast at least several times while we are vacationing. We will be coming back soon and we’re going to Pelican Seafood on our first day in town!

Pelican Seafood market/restaurant was very clean and sanitary but of course, like any seafood market, it will smell like seafood!Oh there, a seafood look very fresh and tasted very fresh!I actually ordered my seafood (scallops and shrimp platter) to be cooked by them and noticed that most people were getting fresh seafood to take home to cook themselves.After getting my seafood, I said in the car and ate it and it was pretty greasy definitely too greasy for my taste. Their prices are reasonable for fresh seafood, but I would recommend buying and taking cooking yourself.Their customer service was very polite and professional. For fresh, North Carolina seafood, their prices are very reasonable!
