Good Food in South Carolina

Fresh and Local: Fish and Shellfish from Harrellson’s Market in Murrell’s Inlet


Ever since we were here in the Litchfield-Pauley's Island area last year, I've been dreaming about Harrellson's Seafood Market, which has fresh local fish of many types. They have a couple of cauldrons of boiling water with your choice of spice level, so they can cook the very fresh shrimp for you. That's how we did it. It's fantastic to have fish and shrimp this fresh!

kept under the ice. We bought a piece of snapper from another case,
but this made a much better photo!

We bought shrimp and a piece of snapper and took them home for dinner — such fresh fish are a wonderful treat!

It was extremely good!

and I'll post more photos later.

    Yes, I do know fish and seafood is healthy, but alas, the smell. And some textures...

    Mae, your theme song should be "On the Road Again"! All that good, fresh seafood looks so yummy. Not that Bob would think so, as he's not a fish fan.

    Shrimp and grits and fried green tomatoes! Count me in. Looks like you are having a wonderful time & I hope the weather is milder there than Michigan.

    I love the idea of eating shrimp straight from the market

    We tried poboys in New Orleans. So good!
