Our Story

A Legacy of Freshness on the Pamlico River

Williams Seafood Inc has been a cornerstone of Engelhard's culinary landscape since 1985. What started as a modest family operation has grown into one of the most trusted names in local seafood, yet we've never lost sight of what matters most: serving you the freshest catch with the warmth of a neighbor.

Our commitment to quality means we source daily from local fishermen who share our passion for sustainability. Every crab, every shrimp, and every fillet arrives at our door within hours of being caught, ensuring that each bite delivers the authentic taste of North Carolina's coast.
