A game-changer in NC seafood is ready to unveil its giant new fish market in Raleigh | The News & Observer

“A giant seafood market will open in Raleigh this month, making the coast seem closer than ever.

Locals Seafood is set to debut its 10,000-square-food seafood market and processing facility, hosting a grand opening event Saturday, May 18.

The emergence of Locals Seafood 14 years ago helped make North Carolina’s coastal bounty more accessible to Triangle diners, both in restaurants and at home. Owners Lin Peterson and Ryan Speckman started the company by driving to the coast twice a week and selling seasonal seafood out of the back of a pickup truck.”
