/ What is Calabash-style seafood?
Calabash-style: a Carolina coast tradition.
Calabash is a tiny fishing town on the North Carolina coast where, since the 1940s, families have hauled the day's catch to the dock and fried it light in a cornmeal batter. Over the decades, "Calabash-style" came to mean any all-you-can-eat seafood buffet built around that lightly-fried, generously-portioned Southern coastal spread.
At HOOKS Calabash Seafood Buffet in Myrtle Beach, we honor that tradition every night. You'll find all-you-can-eat snow crab legs, Calabash fried shrimp, fried flounder, fried oysters, fried scallops, steamed clams and mussels, plus peel-and-eat shrimp, raw oysters on the half shell(in season), and a full carving station with slow-roasted prime rib and honey-glazed ham on weekends.
Bringing folks who don't do seafood? HOOKS has BBQ baby back ribs, fried chicken, hand-carved prime rib, pepper steak, chicken tenders, mac & cheese, collard greens, corn pudding, sweet potato casserole and a fresh salad bar. Save room for our in-house bakery: banana pudding, peach cobbler, key lime shots, red velvet cake and soft-serve.
We're on N Kings Highway in the heart of Myrtle Beach — walking distance from Broadway at the Beach and a short drive from the boardwalk. If you're searching for the best seafood buffet in Myrtle Beach, all-you-can-eat crab legs near me, or an authentic Calabash seafood restaurant on the Grand Strand, you've found it.
