Food occupies a major share of everyone's thoughts as the holiday season approaches. No holiday would be complete without family and friends sharing good food and fellowship. Seafood has always figured prominently in coastal North Carolina holiday festivities. It may be as simple as crab or shrimp appetizers or as subtle as oysters in the stuffing but seafood is a key ingredient to holiday success.

Seafood and commercial fishing have historically been at the heart of Pamlico County's economy. Many residents took the abundant supply of fresh seafood for granted. They either caught it themselves or bought some from a neighbor who was "in the business". There was little need for a retail fish market. Modern times have changed this picture, now many consumers are only familiar with the seafood offered in the freezer section of their grocery store. The Norman family in Oriental, North Carolina recognized this sad trend and now offers wholesome, fresh seafood from their retail market. The Norman's have a proud heritage rooted in coastal North Carolina's seafood industry. They have long been known as one of the premier suppliers of quality blue crab up and down the eastern seaboard. "North Carolina produces some of the best seafood in the world. People were getting tired of buying frozen seafood, they want more tasteful fresh fish." According to Brantley Norman Jr.

Brantley Norman Sr. Brantley Jr., the son of the company's founder, works side by side with his Mom - Ms. Silvia, Dad - Brantley Sr., and Sister - Sandra. This team effort utilizes the family's collective strengths to build a successful business. Brantley Jr's relaxed style immediately puts customers at ease. His helpful suggestions range from seafood selection tips to delicious preparation ideas. The seafood market also features Ms. Sil's fresh baked pies, clam chowder and famous crab cakes allowing shoppers to complete an entire menu in one-stop. Sandra Don't have time to stop? -- No problem. A quick call to the Norman Seafood toll-free number is met with cheery help from Sandra. She can take your order and have it shipped out fresh the same day anywhere in the country for next-day delivery in state-of-the-art packaging to preserve freshness. Sandra is quick to point out that this makes fresh seafood the perfect holiday gift. They also offer gift certificates so the lucky recipients can select their own seafood and specify when to receive it. You don't get a chance to see Brantley Sr. standing still for very long. He is constantly making sure that everything is running smoothly and that quality products and service protect the excellent company reputation.

Brantley Jr. and Sandra The latest addition to the Norman Seafood offering has been to venture on to the Internet. They now offer their fresh seafood from their own web site at www.normanseafood.com. Here customers can order the latest fresh catch, peruse daily specials and get recipes 24 hours a day. "We love our slogan, quality seafood - fresh from the Net", says Brantley Jr. "It says what we mean in more ways than one", he adds. Customers are offered a large selection of fresh shrimp, crab, clams, oysters and a wide variety of fish, which they may charge to a credit card and have shipped immediately. It seems that technology has brought the consumer full circle. While they may no longer run next door to their neighbor or catch the fish themselves they can now use the power of the "Net" to enjoy fresh fish!
