Word on the street
What locals are saying
Tucked into Hutson Alley off John Street, this 2003 indigo-warehouse-turned-fish-house earns consistent word-of-mouth as the go-to seafood recommendation from Charleston locals — not because it chases trends, but because the custom hickory-and-oak wood-burning grill does what it's always done: lend a deep, clean smokiness to fresh-caught fish and local oysters that's hard to replicate. Shrimp and grits, the ceviche trio, and wood-grilled whole fish draw the loudest praise, though service can swing between attentive and inattentive on a packed Friday, and the kitchen's strict no-substitutions policy has ruffled more than a few guests.
