Very informative. Thank you
What about Carrigg’s on Rivers Ave? The freshest Edisto Island crabs, males sweet and tasty plus clams and a million other options. They’ll cook anything in the store for you, like crabs, clams, fish and you can eat at the counter and even get a beer 🍺 to go with it. I’ve polished off as many as 6 large male crabs at that counter.
Should do better research. You left off some fabulous seafood markets that actually serve the community (locals) not just focused on the tourist and charge more affordable prices for the same fresh product. Such a shame
