About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Great for scenic views
The original Hot and Hot Fish Club was founded in the late 1700’s by the planters of All Saints Parish. The social club was dedicated to epicurean pursuits; gourmet food, strong drinks and festive times. The first club was said to be on Drunken Jack Island, located just a few miles south from here. Members of the original club described their past time spent on the island as the “happiest hours of their lives.” The Club was dismantled and finally laid to rest after the Civil War. An ever shifting sand bar off the coast of Huntington Beach State Park is all that remains of the original site. The Hot Fish Club today is located in the oldest existing restaurant building on the Grand Strand. Hot Fish Club remains a favorite gathering place today for discriminating locals and is open to everyone seeking Great Food, Great Drink, and Lively Conversation, in the spirit of those earlier revelers. We pride ourselves on our personal service and our desire to satisfy each guest.

    We love this restaurant. We had the oysters Rockefeller (delicious), the shrimp and grits appetizer and meal, the cobia sandwich and the filets. Our service was great. The fish and the grits were a little overcooked. We will make sure to mention how we like it cooked next time we go there.

    Musty odor upon entering. Menu too large for dining room size. While my grouper was tasty although overcooked , the risotto was grossly overcooked and too cheesy with no taste or evidence of lobster. The beurre blanc was a watery jus. My companions enjoyed their generous fried shrimp portions as did the fish and chips. My suggestion is to stick with the basics for an enjoyable meal. Service was mediocre at best and the runner delivering our meals with the backwards ball cap, strings hanging from his shorts was unprofessional.

    My waiter Jamie was awesome! I had the Cobia Fish. It was the worst fish in a long time. Way over cooked and tough. I would rather have had Gordons from the freezer case and saved $30.
