City/town information
Calabash is named after the type of seafood style that is served there which is fresh seafood that is lightly breaded with a flavorful batter followed by a quick dip in a searing hot fryer until perfectly golden crisp.
There are other towns that serve calabash-style food but only one unique town with views of the Calabash River where it all began. Experience the authentic calabash-style seafood right off the boat. Literally. Please don't forget a basket of hushpuppies!
This town is a "MUST DO" on your trip and see why it is nicknamed "The Seafood Capital of the World"

Food scene
Calabash has many great restaurants and eateries just a short drive away!
Hands down our favorite breakfast spot in Calabash. Bagel Dock boasts New York style bagels in the south. They claim their filtered water is their secret to great tasting bagels.
Stop by here in the morning for some delicious bagel sandwiches and coffee and take a walk down to the dock for some relaxing views of the waterway.
Try coming during the week day or early on the weekends because this place gets busy (and for good reason)!

Definitely a hidden gem! The seafood does not get any fresher than this. Literally fresh off the boat and straight to your plate! We enjoy this place because it is a unique experience. Enjoy great views while eating delicious seafood. They do not sell alcohol here but they do let you BYOB or you can walk next door to the bar at Oyster Rock and bring your drink back. We really liked the blackened crab cakes!

A little on the pricey side, but definitely a nice place to go when you want to get dressed up and splurge a little. Grab drinks before dinner at the outdoor bar on the dock and enjoy the views! This is a popular spot so highly recommend getting reservations.
