Only the Highest Quality Sustainable Wild Caught North Carolina Seafood are used to make our Smoked Fish

The mission of Ophelia Inlet Products is to provide wholesome and delicious value-added seafood products to consumers. Additionally, our mission extends to support our local hard working commercial fishermen, who are wonderful folks and have been fishermen here for many generations dating back to the 1700’s. If we didn’t catch it locally here in eastern Carteret County, North Carolina (which isn’t likely), rest assured we will tell you where the seafood was caught!

The Carteret Catch brand is your guarantee that you are getting local seafood direct from Carteret County fishermen.

The next chance to say “Hello” in person and buy Smoked Fish (and Smoked Fish Dip) will be at the Olde Beaufort Farmers’ Market this upcoming 12 April 2025 in Beaufort on the Courthouse parking lot.

Friendly and knowledgeable Ophelia Inlet Products folks at the Olde Beaufort Farmers’ Market on most Saturday mornings…

Please note we always have Smoked Vacuum Packed Fish in stock (except for now, because we sold all frozen fish in our inventory so all frozen fish will be freshly packaged in 2025).

Past Events

2024:

It was Seafood Festival the first weekend in October! We helped represent Carteret Catch at Jack’s on the Morehead City waterfront, serving free samples of Smoked Fish Dip (made with Jumping Mullets caught in the pristine water on the sandy bottom of Core Sound) on Saturday, Oct 05, 2024.

Later, back in Beaufort, we prepared some of our Smoked Fish Dip on 19 Dec 2024 and 17 Jan 2025, and it was available for pickup the following Saturdays at noon in the Carteret County courthouse parking lot. Please call/text Craig at 252-714-6858 to reserve Smoked Fish Dip.
