Our business, Mattamuskeet Seafood Company, produces a variety of high-quality products made from the Atlantic blue crab, which is native to the waters of the North Carolina coast. Our company sells three grades of crab meat: jumbo lump, backfin (lump), and claw. We also offer crab claws, shucked oysters and a line of premium crab cakes under our Crabber’s Choice brand.

After working as fishermen for many years, our family decided in 1983 to take the next step and build a seafood business. Officially founded in 1984, we have grown and gained a valued reputation for the quality and freshness of our crab meat line over the years. We were the first company to pack our crab meat in clear containers to display our exceptional product quality. Our company remains family owned and managed.

Mattmuskeet Seafood Company is located in Swan Quarter on Hwy 264, one of North Carolina’s 61 Scenic Byways that direct motorists to the state’s most incredible geography and landscapes while raising awareness for the conservation of these important resources.

Near Mattmuskeet Seafood Company is the Mattamuskeet National Wildlife Refuge, located on the Albemarle-Pamlico Peninsula. The Refuge includes 50,000 acres of open water, marsh, forest and croplands. At the core of the refuge is Lake Mattamuskeet, North Carolina’s largest natural lake and a vital stopover for wintering waterfowl. More than 200,000 ducks, geese and swans come to the refuge from November through February.
