Wreck of the Richard & Charlene

Mt Pleasant seafood spot hidden behind Shem Creek. Total dive; total locals spot. Great seafood but go for the ambiance -- ancestral Charleston + Shem Creek newspapers (the proximate stuff like shrimping and Hurricane Hugo) all over the walls. The plastic chairs + white-table-cloth feel is redneck elegance at its finest. In winter time, a fire roaring in the fireplace completes the place.

Wreck of the Richard & Charlene

Casey, in Man v Food, ate the seafood platter here consisting of locally caught shrimp, scallops, Atlantic oysters and flounder that are lightly seasoned, dipped in milk wash and flour, and then fried to a golden brown.

Wreck of the Richard & Charlene

Great off-the-beaten path spot to grab a beer and fried local seafood by the docks in Shem!
