This South Carolina Seafood Spot Offers Fresh Food Cooked Straight From The Boat

Is there anything better than seafood straight from the boat in South Carolina? There are plenty of restaurants right on the water that offer the best seafood in South Carolina, but we also appreciate the more unique options. And you'll find one right on Edisto Island. The very next chance you have to visit the Lowcountry and make a trip to Edisto Island, take it! There's a little roadside seafood market with a restaurant and it's all owned by a family that's been fishing commercially for four generations.

First, Flowers Seafood has a fantastic seafood market where you can grab some freshly caught fish and take them home to cook for yourself. This is highly recommended!

But be sure to arrive hungry and step around back to their portable kitchen where the very same seafood is cooked to order while you wait.

Shrimp fresh from the water just tastes so much better than from a grocery store!

It's sweeter and a bit salty and perfectly seasoned and breaded by Flowers.

Order some and see for yourself! And be sure to get some of Flowers' famous hush puppies, too! They pair nicely with a side order of French fries.

Whether you want a fresh-catch sandwich of some delicious filet, fried or boiled shrimp, or even fried soft shell crab (in season), you're sure to love the terrific seafood at Flowers Seafood!

Why wait until you get back home to devour this meal? There are picnic tables and condiments right next to the portable kitchen, so sit down and enjoy!

Flowers Seafood Market is open seven days a week. But If you want that delicious freshly-caught seafood cooked to order, you'll only get it Thursday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Flowers Seafood To-Go is open at various times throughout the week. Check this South Carolina restaurant's website for the most current hours and menu items.

To enjoy your food quickly call ahead so it's ready when you arrive. The number for Flowers Seafood To-Go is 843-869-3303. You won't find seafood straight from the boat in South Carolina as delicious as it is from Flowers! While you're nearby, the Edisto Island Serpentarium opens for the season early in the spring.
