About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Neighbourhood gem
  • Good for groups
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.

    We are locals and everyone told Us to try the place. It was just another fried fish house that are all over the place in the Grand Strand. My wife’s sea bass was oily and sides were just too salty. I had the ribeye and it was good which is why it got the second star. Prices were very high for the service and the food we received. We tried it but will not be back.

    We celebrated my Dear Wife's "unknown year" Birthday last night. A wonderful time was enjoyed by all... We enjoyed our steamed pot, shrimp and grits, and salmon entrees! We were blessed with the ability to enjoy the marsh view from their very comfortable enclosed back porch! Awesome views. Service was prompt and very helpful. Summary, It was a magnificent evening. Thank you all...

    Lots of good choices. Food well prepared and very good portion sizes. Seafood items are fresh and seasoned appropriately. We come here every time we visit. Will be back 3-4 times over the next few weeks.
