A favorite of the locals. Get the garlic blue crab! Family owned spot. Even though this place is about 45 mins away from where I live, I get in my car at least 2x a month for the garlic blue crabs. The seafood always tastes fresh. The seasoning is always on point. I love seafood and after searching for the best in the area, I am 100% sure this is my number one seafood place! The prices are competitively lower then some of the other local places. I am sure I have tried most of them. Lots of parking. Outside seating available. I guess you could bring a dog but I wouldn’t. #TTip: They have a food truck operated by a family member. If you don’t want to drive out that far to the store, follow them on Facebook. On the FB page. They post the location of the food truck- if it’s coming out. That’s the one thing I wish was better. The consistency of the food truck. It may show up on a Friday and the next time you see it is weeks later. As for food, I have always gotten the same quality at the truck as to what I have gotten at the store.
Oooooooo babyyyyyyyy! We traveled far and wide, and through a good ole' South Carolina monsoon for these Garlic Butter Crabs lol. And they were worth EVERY finger licking bite ...

Some of the nicest people you will ever meet. Blue crab is the thing to get however the seafood crab salad will make you slap your momma. Everything is so damn good.
Some of the best seafood in the Lowcountry. I have eaten here many times, and have never been disappointed. The food is hot and so good, you can also buy fresh seafood to prepare for later. Try the garlic crabs some of the best in the area. Friendly staff!
Down to earth seafood market offering fresh local fish, shellfish, and simple yet delicious fried fare. Really enjoyed the crispy fried local shrimp, the breading was well seasoned and not too thick. It was perfectly cooked and tender! The staff was also friendly and accommodating. Looking forward to coming back and trying the garlic crabs!
Wear a shirt you'd commit a murder in because the smothered garlic crabs are OUT OF THIS WORLD You will be baptized in that garlic sauce and get it all over your face, your arms and your shirt. And you won't care, because it's THAT good and because you were smart and brought an extra shirt. You're welcome. ...
The best crabs ever 10 years strong for me and don’t go anywhere else
