So which eatery was named the best seafood restaurant in all of South Carolina?
The Wreck of the Richard & Charlene
Housed in Mount Pleasant, this top-notch restaurant has a menu full of delicious seafood options like shrimp, scallops, mahi mahi, oysters and more. The Wreck of the Richard & Charlene, which has a 4.3 star rating on Google with more than 1,000 reviews, is located at 106 Haddrell Street.
Here's what the site had to say about this "popular" seafood spot:
"The Wreck of the Richard & Charlene is a hole-in-the-wall, low country-style location. This dinner-only location serves up fresh, fried seafood. Don't underestimate the quality. It's a fantastic place to get a filling meal from ala carte sides like shrimp, oysters, and scallops to the big platters of deviled crab and seafood combinations."
