These are South Carolina’s 10 Best Seafood Spots to Try

Crab legs are my favorite seafood dish. Little neck clams are also a favorite of mine. Having grown up on the Jersey shore, I was fortunate to have seafood close by. Since I live next to South Carolina, I am always on the lookout for good seafood restaurants whenever I go to the shore.

Seafood contains a variety of nutrients beneficial to health and wellness at any age, such as omega-3 fatty acids, iron, B and D vitamins, and protein. I guess that is why so many people love it!
