"A tucked-away, no-reservations seafood restaurant on Bogard Street known for inventive Lowcountry dishes in a nautical dining room. The menu often features creative plates like fish tail tempura and chili garlic shrimp, and diners are encouraged to order local oysters when available." - Erin Perkins
"A fun, casual seafood spot noted for an adventurous caviar sandwich and a walk-in-friendly format (it does not take reservations, so early arrival can help secure a seat)." - Erin Perkins
"A lively, casual seafood counter known for a standout caviar sandwich and noted for not taking reservations (arrive early — around 4:30 p.m. is suggested if you want a chance at a table)." - Erin Perkins
"Chubby Fish opened in 2018, and since then, it’s become one of Charleston’s best and most exciting restaurants. The seasonal menu, listed on a chalkboard right above the kitchen, focuses on locally-caught seafood with things like yellowfin tuna crudo and several varieties of oysters, including steamboat creeks from South Carolina. While you’ll have to come early to get a seat and put your name down for a table, this Cannonborough-Elliotborough restaurant is a great date night spot, and a must if sharing caviar sandwiches is your true love language." - jai jones, emily yates
"If you’re driving down Coming Street around 5 p.m., you’ll likely notice a long queue of eager diners hoping to get into neighborhood restaurant Chubby Fish (it’s first come, first serve). The sailing-inspired dining room is always packed with customers looking to discover what chef James London has created with the day’s fresh local catch. The caviar sandwich is a must, but also try the chile garlic shrimp, blue crab tagliatelle, and roast oysters with crab-fat curry. Best for: A luscious dinner full of the ocean’s abundance in a buzzy room." - Erin Perkins
