Best Seafood in Charleston
Five seafood spots clear our bar in Charleston. One sits at the top of the whole city.
Chubby Fish is Delicious as F*ck, stacked with a 50 Best 2026 nod, a James Beard Finalist 2024, and a Michelin Selected badge. The Obstinate Daughter backs it up on Sullivan's Island with its own Beard Semifinalist nod. Below that, three Damn Good rooms — The Establishment's $$$$ Michelin Selected pick, 167 Raw's oyster counter, and The Ordinary, still riding a 2013 Beard Finalist nod. Charleston seafood starts strong and doesn't let up.
