How locals rank it
From the local food press
- Fish Fry
Bowens Island is an old-school fish fry shack just off Folly Beach, with a fried whiting platter served with fries, hush puppies and coleslaw. The restaurant sits on the marsh, and its menu also offers oysters and fried shrimp.

- Seafood
A James Beard America's Classic that has sat on the marsh at James Island for more than seventy-five years. The draw is the oyster roast, where shovelfuls of local clusters are dumped onto plywood tables for you to shuck yourself as the sun drops over the water. Garden and Gun and the Post and Courier oyster guide both point here for the roasted-cluster experience. Go at sunset and plan to get messy.
