A Culinary Journey To Flowers Seafood On Edisto Island

Is there anything quite like enjoying fresh seafood right off the boat in South Carolina? While numerous waterfront restaurants boast some of the finest seafood in the state, there are also unique gems worth exploring. One of these treasures can be found on Edisto Island. The next time you venture into the Lowcountry, be sure to stop by Edisto Island! There, you’ll discover a charming roadside seafood market accompanied by a restaurant, both operated by a family with a rich heritage in commercial fishing spanning four generations.

One highlight of the experience is Flowers Seafood, which features an incredible seafood market. Here, you can pick up freshly caught fish to prepare at home. This is something we highly recommend!
