"Dine on Fresh Fish at Saltbox Seafood Joint
In 2025, Saltbox Seafood Joint's Ricky Moore was selected as a Semifinalist for Outstanding Chef in the James Beard Foundation Awards—so it’s no surprise that this should be one of your stops while in Durham. As the restaurant’s name implies, this is a spot where fresh seafood is the star of the show; as such, the menu changes daily. In the winter, he’s serving up flounder and bluefish while spring brings grouper and blue crab."
Shout out to The Can Opener Durham, Bar Beej (Preeti Waas), Little Barb’s Bakery, Patty Boy, Napoli Pizzeria & Gelateria, Mystic Farm and Distillery, Ideal’s Sandwich and Grocery, Alley Twenty Six and Juju Durham.
