    Okay just some info for ya, not sure if anyone has told you yet. The seafood hut is what is left of The Original Calabash. It use to be where Captin Nances is now. It was the best one there and I have been going to this area since the 70s. I watched all these places spring up over the years my how time flys.

      Yes, but the Calabash Seafood Hut is now located across from Ella's.
      The last time I went there was about seven years ago. I went in there for the seafood lunch special, and seafood was not even on the options for that day. I ended up having to get a hamburger steak, or something like that. I don't remember if it was a hamburger, or hamburger steak pattie. But I was very disappointed that seafood was not an option on that day. Seafood is literally in their name.
      I hope they have changed this policy, since they are the Calabash Seafood Hut. Seafood should be an option every day.

    • @NCMemoryMakers
      @NCMemoryMakers  Před rokem +1

      We have been to Captain Nance's, as well. Our first experience there was not great, but our next two were better. I do like the fact that you can sit out on the back deck on the waterfront at Captain Nance's.
      Beck's is very good, too. Thank you for watching!

    we never had the chance to try ellas, we did try becks the other year, and your sitting right behind where we sat, to funny. we thought it was pretty good. that lunch special for the 2 choices is a great price, wow. i know you like your tarter with your fish, i don't think i have ever seen anyone use it on shrimp also, but good for you, we all like what we like. you have inspired me to try the flounder when we come down in aug. looking forward to it, not sure where i will try it, but will see, and let you know, lol. we really enjoy callahan's too, usually one of our stops, we enjoy little river and calabash area, we tend to stay up north since we stay in cherry grove, don't go to myrtle too often. i'm sure there are plenty of great places to see and eat too. have you all ever tried the place at the end of the street, the Mediterranean place grapevine? just curious

    • @NCMemoryMakers
      @NCMemoryMakers  Před rokem +1

      We have not tried the Mediterranean place. I know exactly where you are talking about, and it looks like it would be pretty good. We just usually go to Calabash for the seafood.
      Yes, I would like to know what you think of the flounder when you come. And if you happen to eat at Hoskins, you know I recommend it there, very highly.
      We generally stay up around North Myrtle, too. We did drive down to Broadway at the Beach last night. That's the only time we have been down to Myrtle Beach this trip.
      Many of the restaurants on River Road in calabash, offer a really good lunch special.
      We walked across the street and went in Callahan's, right after eating at Beck's.

      Yep I will keep you posted if we decide to try hoskins or if try someplace else as well. I think it being fried makes a difference to.
      I get ya on going to Centra MB, we usually go to Broadway if our daughters are along, but so much of the same at barefoot now
      Not sure if you're into it or not but try top golf sometime,bits really fun.

    I could be wrong but I think a bisque is smooth and chunks makes it a chowder. I LOVE seafood but havent been able to do oysters on the half-shell.

    We ate at Ella’s October 2020 when we visited Myrtle Beach with dear friends. But, next time we are in the area, we will definitely check out Becks. Everything looked delicious. Hush puppies..the best I’ve ever eaten are in Shelby at Bridges bbq. It’s a damp, cold, rainy day here too, but love the temps. Have a safe trip home..

      The answer to this question is very long, so rather than type it all here, I'm going to put you a video link to watch where we address that. Two other people have also asked us the same question.
      We talked about this issue at 35:44 into the video.
      I'm also including the link, because it is sort of a marital testimony where we share how things came about between us.
      You may want to watch the entire thing, and if you do, that's great. If not, the answer to that question is at 35:44.

      @stepheniesmith4927 It's no problem. You aren't the only person to ask. That's one of the reasons we addressed it in that video.
      I only sent the video link, because it would've taken so long to explain the condition in her hand, and describe it.
      I hope we didn't offend you. It would've just been a lot to type out.
