Author Padgett Powell wrote in Travel and Leisure that Dockside “…has the best stock of what might have to be called seafood accessories I have ever seen. They'll get you the Zatarain's Crab Boil from the back if it's not on the shelves and you prefer it to Old Bay, and live crabs to go with it.”   Rated #1 on Trip Advisor in 2015 for Seafood in Duck, NC.
