Top Best Seafood Restaurants in Sullivan's Island

"A longtime favorite of Charleston diners, Edmund’s Oast is offering some of its most popular dishes to-go, like the until-recently-retired pickled shrimp toast, which is basically what summer in Charleston tastes like. Add on dessert and a bottle of wine for just $20 more, with free delivery via Uber Eats and Grubhub. There’s also a weekday Family Meal special that is enough for “three groups of three” and features 16-piece fried chicken, six sides, two pieces of pie, two 32-oz house beers, and two bottles of wine."

"Another hip casual restaurant up on Morrison Drive in upper Charleston SC, Edmund’s Oast is pretty cool with a larger restaurant with a loft feel to it, and a patio. With beer brewed on site to match their craft cocktails, their food, which is described as New American, is divine. Like the okonomiyaki and grits at Hominy Grill Charleston SC, you haven’t lived until you’ve tried the cornbread served with honeyed butter at Edmund’s Oast."

"A rare combination of brewpub, farm-to-table restaurant, and craft cocktail bar, Edmund’s Oast takes everything it does seriously, but not too..."

The restaurant's chalkboard menu, which changes daily, lists the seafood specials and the daily selection of oysters and where they are from. Seating is limited, so arrive early or plan on waiting for a table."

"Address: 193 King Street, Charleston, SC 29401Phone: (843) 579-4997Website. They don’t take reservations and you might see a line out the door, but don’t let that keep you from the fresh seafood and local-favorite hot-spot. The wait is worth it for the crispy oysters, scallop po’boys, and ever-changing menu of “frozie” cocktails."

"Sure, Rappahannock Oyster Bar in The Cigar Factory has great oysters — their own popular Virginia-farmed options along with well-sourced choices from near and far (as well as raw local clams from famed Clammer Dave). However, it’s Executive Chef Kevin Kelly’s creative seafood dishes beyond oysters on the half shell that make Rappahannock one of Charleston’s best restaurants. After a selection of bivalves or a seafood tower, opt for small plates like a piri piri crudo followed by entrees like Kelly’s art-on-the-plate grilled whole fish drizzled with chile oil and dressed with watermelon radish and watercress, or his fermented black garlic version of shrimp and grits."

"The second you walk into Rappahannock Oyster Bar, you’ll be greeted by their glass cases filled with fresh fish and raw bar items on ice. It certainly gets you in the mood for seafood!. Rappahannock Oyster Bar is one of the best places to get oysters in town, and their menu is the perfect balance of innovation and classics."

"More of a historic colonial settlement brought to life in authentic fashion than a simple park, a visit to the Charleston Towne Landing historic site makes for an excellent afternoon activity off-peninsula for people and groups of all ages. Just a short drive from downtown Charleston across the Ashley River, Charles Towne Landing brings the past to life at the site of the first permanent European settlement in the Carolinas. This state historic site offers bike rentals, nature and walking trails (including nature and history trails), and 80 acres of gardens and greenery."

"See the opulent luxury of the late 19th century in all its vintage glory at the Calhoun Mansion on Meeting Street.

Take a tour through its three magnificent floors with thirty-five rooms full of period furniture."
