goat island grill: low country cuisine
doug48 Says: the goat island grill is a very good seafood restaurant specializing in south carolina low country cuisine. they offer an excellent seafood selection as well as steak and american fare. a good place to have lunch or diner in downtown georgetown.
big tuna is a raw bar located behind the old fish house restaurant on the harbor walk. a great place to sit on their deck and have a beer or two and watch the sunset over georgetown harbor.

Friends tell us that very good seafood can be purchased at the next docks north of the Boat Shed. Claiborne Young also mentions this. I've never done it.
I took the picture of the shrimp boat from our boat (across the stern of a trawler which was flying a US flag) because one of our grandsons is named Carson. I took a picture of the directional sign when we were walking up to dinner.
What to buy: Fish or shrimp
The yard also has a marine railway.

the only drawback to a visit to downtown georgetown is the sulpher smell from the paper mill. this huge paper mill was once the largest in the united states. the odor emitted from this plant is not bad enough to discourage a visit to downtown but when the wind is coming from the west you will notice it.
