About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Great for scenic views
The original Hot and Hot Fish Club was founded in the late 1700’s by the planters of All Saints Parish. The social club was dedicated to epicurean pursuits; gourmet food, strong drinks and festive times. The first club was said to be on Drunken Jack Island, located just a few miles south from here. Members of the original club described their past time spent on the island as the “happiest hours of their lives.” The Club was dismantled and finally laid to rest after the Civil War. An ever shifting sand bar off the coast of Huntington Beach State Park is all that remains of the original site. The Hot Fish Club today is located in the oldest existing restaurant building on the Grand Strand. Hot Fish Club remains a favorite gathering place today for discriminating locals and is open to everyone seeking Great Food, Great Drink, and Lively Conversation, in the spirit of those earlier revelers. We pride ourselves on our personal service and our desire to satisfy each guest.

    Overall, it was a good experience. I did, however, think our server was about as warm as a cold fish. She did a good job, just was not at all personable. Maybe she was having a bad day, I'm not sure.

    The food was excellent. We had shrimp and grits, lobster pot pie and surf and turf(me). My fillet was cooked perfectly. The lobster pot pie’s crust was flaky.

    This is our favorite restaurant and we eat here quite often, however, something was off tonight. The Bam Bam shrimp didn't have their awesome flavor. The She Crab soup was a bit off as well. The Grouper is normally quite remarkable, but even it was a bit off this evening. Maybe a new chef in the kitchen on a Sunday evening?

    We love this restaurant. We had the oysters Rockefeller (delicious), the shrimp and grits appetizer and meal, the cobia sandwich and the filets. Our service was great. The fish and the grits were a little overcooked. We will make sure to mention how we like it cooked next time we go there.
