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 never visit Pawleys Island without eating at the Hot Fish Club. The seafood platter is fantastic. Jamie, our waiter, did a great job, as usual.

    A very nice dinner. I had the red snapper( my favorite) and my friend had the Chilean sea bass. Both dinners were perfect.

    The food was decent but for the price not outstanding; our server was great but the food came out one on top of the other - the apps and dinner were out at the same time- felt very rushed;

    Great rolls with garlic butter. Wine served with a glass of water. Excellent Red Snapper special. That had a very good topping made with lemon, Ali o. Risotto with asparagus. The cioppini was very tasty. Just the right amount of spicey heat. Assortment of fish. Tiny clams, mussels, scallops, shrimp & fish & multi legged crab legs with knuckle. Of course a bucket for the shells & hand wipes plus extra napkins. The sauce was full of peppers, onions & tomatoes with just the right amount of heat. Very enjoyable.

    Not good atmosphere, there was a very inappropriate conversation happening at the table beside us and it was being talked about very loudly in main dining area. We confronted our server and manager and neither one did anything. Very disappointed.
