Delicious seafood in South Carolina is often thought to be a coastal thing, but you’ll change your mind after a meal at this tiny, inland seafood restaurant in South Carolina. This beloved eatery serves up Gullah-style seafood in an inviting, albeit tiny, restaurant – in downtown Manning. Before you turn up your nose in favor of something a little closer to the coast, just check it out here first…
Gullah Gullah Fish is found right in downtown Manning, approximately one mile from exit 119 on Interstate 95...
...and 75 miles from the coast of South Carolina. But that doesn't stop these folks from serving up one of the best seafood feasts in the Palmetto State.
The menu includes a crab entree that is undoubtedly the most popular item available.
The chefs here used creative leeway to modify South Carolina's signature Frogmore Stew into a few different seafood feasts that'll have you driving from all points for a do-over after you have just one dining experience here.

You can order this feast with your choice of blue crabs, snow crab legs, fried soft shell crabs, or steamed rock crabs.
Each selection comes as a combo with all the delicious fixin's of Frogmore Stew (a.k.a. Lowcountry Boil, for those who aren't from the Palmetto State). The restaurant also has other entrees such as shrimp and grits, chicken and waffles, and more.

You've never had a Lowcountry Boil OR a Frogmore Stew modified quite like this.
You'll love the traditional combo items (cob corn, sausage, shrimp, and potatoes) as much as the added boiled eggs and the garlic butter that's generously added on top of it all.
But the tiny restaurant does have ample seating for when you want to devour this feast right on the spot. Every order is cooked to order and for that reason, most who've been here recommend you call in your order ahead of time.
You can even call it in ahead of time if you're planning to eat it in-house.
When you're seeking out Gullah Gullah Fish for the first time, it's easy to find! It's only two doors down from Manning City Hall. And plenty of parking is available right on the street.
