This region’s deep love affair with seafood dates back to its foundation and has grown into a thriving cuisine scene to relish.

Good run down! I’ve not yet been to Mr. Fish or The Claw House, even though I’ve visited Myrtle Beach a few times now. Do you know if any of these places are particularly good for kids? My two can be a tad picky!
Great post, man. Sea Captain’s House Crab Soup sounds mouth-watering. Might have to make a trip to Myrtle Beach just for it!
Totally agree about Rusty Anchor. Quirky, yes, but some of the tastiest seafood in town. Plus, it’s right in the heart of the city – a true gem.
