As soon as I moved here I knew I had to get a fresh blue crab connection. So I started researching…read moreand tasting. Had a little get together at my neighborhood clubhouse and wanted to take my mini crab puffs. I went by to see on what days their crabmeat ( NOT PASTEURIZED!!!) was delivered. I picked it up the day before and kept the container on ice in my fridge until needed the next day. I always allow plenty of time in my prepping to do at least a double " pick over" for shells that aren't always caught in the initial picking process. I was finished in no time!!! That was the cleanest crab I think I have ever picked!!! The owner was very nice when initially went in and the young men behind the counter could not have been nicer. This was on the top ten things to find here and boy I really scored! Just the start of my seafood journey!

During shrimp season you will find medium & large shrimp, both head on and headless. I stopped by this September day and was greeted by friendly staff who explained what was available, and bagged it up on ice. We enjoyed the large shrimp on the grill at home later. The shrimp were absolutely delicious, tender, juicy and better than store bought shrimp. I am a convert and would definitely return for my future shrimp purchases. But local. Enjoy local.

A true pioneer in moving the fish market in a sustainable direction to make sure we have ample fish populations for years to come. Now the food? Delicious. Fresh. Flavorful. The ceviche with the sticky rice add on is my favorite here, but everything is absolutely yummy! Poboy and crab cakes round out my top 3. Inside, you'll find a small space with limited seating and a counter to order at. Lots of tables outside (both on their porch and out back in the beautiful trees), so plan your attire accordingly. Big group? Likely not sitting inside! They have a fairly large wine selection and beverage fridge, so you should be able to find something to make the whole group happy. Casual, relaxed, friendly spot. Everytime I drive by, I feel the draw to pull in!

I had the smoked fish dip, served with saltines and fresh sliced vegetables for dipping, along with the house oysters and a glass of white wine. The vegetables were sliced perfectly for scooping up the dip and made a fresh, crisp alternative to the saltines. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and delicious. The setup is casual and easy -- you walk up to the counter to order, and they give you a digital pager to let you know when your food is ready. I also appreciated details like the recycled utensils and the overall relaxed feel of the place. The service stood out before I even walked in. Someone was in the parking lot helping direct guests on where to park, which was a nice touch and made arriving easy. Great seafood, friendly service, a relaxed waterfront atmosphere, and a really enjoyable experience. Definitely worth a stop on James Island!

Since Abundant sells to most, if not all, of the restaurants around town, you'll often find selections that you can order at restaurants, but not available in Seafood departments at supermarkets or even Whole Foods. The options change, depending on the catch and are usually posted, along with the per lb. price, on their Facebook page. If not, there's a board in front. The store on Montague Avenue usually has a wider selection, but you'll have plenty of options on Shem Creek. Parking is limited. You can purchase a whole fish, or have them filet while you watch.
