Located on the coast of the Atlantic Ocean, it’s no surprise that Charleston, South Carolina, is known for its seafood. In fact, the city is part of a seafood trail along the coast that connects delectable dishes with history, culture, and views. One local restaurant in particular has been recognized by Michelin for its delicious seafood meals and locally-sourced ingredients: Husk.
