When I go out of town, I have a hard rule.  Don't eat anywhere that I have at home!  For me, one of the best parts about going out of town is trying new restaurants. And in South Carolina, we know it's a great place for seafood!

Let's Talk Seafood.

I am a huge seafood person and will drive to the coast for it.  So where you can get the best seafood on the east coast?  Yes, South Carolina is a great place for seafood. And according to an article by VRBO, some of the best are right in our neck of the woods. I’ll give you a hint it’s a major foodie city and on the South Carolina coast.

Know what it is yet? You probably do! VRBO featured 5 cities in their article, each in a different area, but all with mouth-watering seafood. Keep reading to see which locations they are, and what they are known for, and learn a little more about the local fare. These are VRBO’s best cities for seafood on the east coast!

Now for me, A day trip to eat in Charleston is just heaven on earth.  I love going to the ones everyone expects but my favorite spot is the Crab Shack on Folly Beach.  Fried Shrimp, Hush Puppies, French Fries, and a cold one, that's a day trip!

Now let's see the top 5 with number one being!

And The Winner is-Charleston SC

Charleston, Victorian-style homes and Southern charm, and fresh Atlantic shrimp. Located by the City Market, Hank’s Seafood Restaurant is the area’s highlight seafood joint and offers a more formal dining experience than the many crab shacks lining the coast. In fact, the Charleston City Paper named Hank’s “Best Seafood Restaurant” 12 years in a row. Try the traditional shrimp and grits, the she-crab soup or the triple-decker seafood tower with mussels, lobster, shrimp and oysters.

#2-Key West Florida

When going to  Florida in general most have Key Lime Pie in mind. It's Not dessert, It's Where you start . Whether you snacking on conch fritters or enjoying a fancy meal you’re in for a treat. Get anything and everything at the Eaton Street Seafood Market. There you can try crab cake sandwiches, lobster rolls, fish dip, and more. Visit Key West lists some of the area’s most popular seafood spots.
