Crab Catchers, Little River, SC, Cook what You Catch!!

Image
We finished our deep-sea fishing trip  and after giving away some fish we ended up with a couple of pounds of shark and grunt fish. We were in search of a restaurant that would prepare our catch and one of the deckhands recommended Crab Catchers. The location is awesome, it located on the waterfront in Little River, SC. They have plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, where you can eat, sit, drink, and enjoy the view.  Unfortunately, we thought is best to sit inside due to the forecast.  Since my wife and I have little experience cooking fish in general and no experience cooking shark we left the preparations up to the chef. He chose to fry the grunt in flavorful cornmeal, and he  grilled the shark. Half of the shark he prepared with a  Cajun season and  the other half in an  herbal seasoning . It was all delicious and I cannot say that I preferred one variety over the other.  To cook your catch, they charge a reasonable price. On our visit it was ...

We Caught A Shark! - Little River Deep-sea Fishing, North Myrtle Beach

Image
We showed up at  Calabash Marina  on the morning of our deep-sea fishing Excursion. They asked that we arrive 30 minutes early so breakfast came from a drive-thru window. The check-in process was flawless, since I had our reservations printed, it only took a few minutes to get us checked in. Once checked in, we boarded the Hurricane II where we were greeted by one of the crew members. He recognized that we had a young fisherman with us, so he offered us a spot in his section of the boat. He assured us that he would help my son out as needed, which was nice because I was trying to figure things out for myself. Since this was our first deep-sea fishing excursion, we opted for the half-day trip. The captain did a wonderful job, he kept us on fish all morning and we moved to a new location each time it slowed down. All of the deckhands were  knowledgeable, professional, and friendly. In addition to being able to i dentify many of the different fish s...

Southern Manners Restaurant, Columbus, NC, Delicious Baked Oatmeal

Image
Southern Manners is located in Columbus, North Carolina. From the time that you walk in the doors till the time you leave, you know that you are in the south. The décor has a southern feel, the staff has southern charm, and the food is simply delicious.  The ordering procedure at Southern Manners is different from most other cafes. Instead of taking your seat and placing your order, you will visit a countertop where you order and pay. There are menus on the left as you enter and there are two cashiers available, so the  lines moved swiftly.  After paying, you will get your own coffee and find your way to a table.  A Trump rally was happening in Columbus on the day we were in town, and we wanted to enjoy the show. We chose to sit upstairs and by a window, yes you read correctly, they do have upstairs seating. From our upstairs window overlooking the street below, we had perfect seats. As we waited for our food to arrive, we enjoyed watching the Trump flags and signs ...
