6 Interactive Culinary Experiences to Try in Charleston

"On a casual afternoon with Charleston native Tia Clark I spent two and a half hours on the dock baiting lines, throwing a cast net, and hauling blue crabs from the marsh while learning how the species fits into the ecosystem and why sustainable practices matter; Clark—who began crabbing to improve her health and reconnect with her Gullah Geechee roots—shares that connection with guests throughout the tour. The $125 ticket includes all equipment, bait, and a crate for any legal-size catch, and Tia and her team will clean the crabs so you can cook them at your rental or they’ll direct you to a local restaurant that will prepare your haul that day." - Lauren Mowery
