The Saltbox Seafood Joint Is An Urban Fish Camp In Durham North Carolina With The Best Seafood Around

If it’s seafood you love, there are countless restaurants over on the North Carolina coast that dish up delicious, fresh seafood on the regular. But not everyone can take the time to travel all of the way to the ocean for great seafood. Thankfully, we don’t have to. This tiny little shack in Durham doles out hearty servings of the most delicious (and fresh!) seafood around.

Located in a kitchen house reminiscent of a fish camp, Saltbox Seafood Joint in Little Five Points is much like a fish camp — but in an urban setting. The walk-up window is the only thing standing between you and...

... the best seafood you've ever had — expertly prepared, seasoned by a pro, and ready to be devoured immediately.

Sure, this ramshackle little joint doesn't have inside seating, but you won't have to wait 'til you get home to sink your teeth into the amazing food. Plenty of outdoor seats are always available!

You may find it difficult at first to believe just how fresh the fish can be so far from the ocean. However, much of the seafood prepared here (except oysters) is locally-caught.

In fact, the menu often changes with the season, depending on what's running in the local waters.

Did you know this urban fish camp (without the camp) was even open?

If not, then you'll love hearing there's a recently open second location in Durham (Rockwood). It may be a smidge larger than the original location, but the food is equally unforgettable!

Ready to get in on this flavorful fish feast? Saltbox Seafood Joint’s original (walk-up only) location is found at 608 N Mangum St., Durham, NC 27701. It’s open Tuesday through Saturday from 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. If you’re closer to the Rockwood location, then that address is 2637 Durham-Chapel Hill Blvd., Durham, NC 27707. The hours vary in Rockwood. They are: Tuesday through Saturday from 11:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.
