If you’re in the mood for a memorable seafood dining experience that caters to both kids and adults, Lowcountry Fish Camp is a hidden gem you won’t want to miss. Nestled in the heart of our town, this charming spot has quickly become a family favorite, and for good reason. From inventive appetizers to hearty entrees, every visit promises a delightful adventure in flavor. Here’s a peek into what makes dining at Lowcountry Fish Camp a standout experience for us.

Our meals at Lowcountry Fish Camp often begin with an appetizer or two, and this is where the fun starts. The calamari is a consistent hit with everyone in the family. It’s crispy, tender, and just the right amount of seasoned – a real crowd-pleaser that keeps the kids happily munching away.

But the real star of the appetizer menu has to be the signature camp rolls. Imagine spring rolls stuffed with a delectable combination of shrimp and grits. It sounds unconventional, but trust me – it’s a flavor explosion. Boy1 couldn’t get enough of them, savoring every bite, while Boy2 remained a bit hesitant and opted out of trying them. Even so, the camp rolls are a unique twist on Southern classics that’s worth a try, even if it’s just for the adventurous eaters in the family.

When it comes to the kids’ menu, Lowcountry Fish Camp doesn’t just cater to young tastes with bland offerings. Over the various times we’ve dined there, the boys have gravitated towards the cod nuggets and shrimp baskets. The cod nuggets are perfectly crisp on the outside and tender on the inside, while the shrimp baskets are a generous serving of golden, juicy shrimp that keep the kids happily satisfied. It’s clear that the kids’ menu is not an afterthought here – it’s as thoughtfully prepared as the adult fare, making it easy to keep both the little ones and the grown-ups content.

As for the main courses, we’ve tried just about everything on the menu, and each dish has its own charm. My personal favorite has been the seared scallops. They come beautifully prepared, with a delicate sear that locks in all the flavor. And let’s not forget the Old Bay fries – they’re served with nearly everything and are a perfect complement to the seafood, adding just the right amount of spice and crunch.

Hubs, on the other hand, often leans towards the fisherman’s platter. It’s a generous assortment of various seafood, showcasing the restaurant’s ability to prepare and present an array of fresh catches. It’s a substantial meal that’s as satisfying as it is flavorful.

At this point, we feel like we’ve sampled nearly everything on the Lowcountry Fish Camp menu, including some of the delicious specials, and each visit reaffirms why this spot is a favorite. The menu is diverse enough to cater to different tastes, whether you’re craving something classic or adventurous. The atmosphere is always welcoming-set up like an actual fish camp with outdoor and porch seating-making it an ideal place for family dinners.

In short, if you haven’t yet experienced a meal at Lowcountry Fish Camp, you’re missing out on a culinary delight that’s both satisfying and memorable. From the appetizers to the mains, every dish is crafted with care and creativity. So, grab the family, head over, and dive into a seafood experience you’ll be talking about long after the last bite. Don’t forget to sample a cocktail while you’re there, they are out of this world and so flavorful.
