Water plays a large part in the economy of North and South Carolina. This image was shot on the top deck of the recreational fishing boat, Navigator, overlooking the docks in Calabash, North Carolina near low tide.
Just above the South Carolina/North Carolina state line, Calabash was once termed "Seafood Capital of the World". In the 1930's, Calabash was a small fishing village known for it's fine quality of shrimp and fish. A local businessman began serving seafood prepared in a light seasoned batter and deep-fried until golden brown, then served hot. That's where Calabash-style seafood was born.
About 30 minutes North of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, folks from all over the country still flock to the Grand Strand area during the summertime for fun in the sun along the beaches. While they're on the Grand Strand, it's inevitable that they'll enjoy their seafood prepared Calabash-style.
