Story by Ian Guerin
Come to the beach, you’ve got to take advantage of the seafood. It’s just a fact of your Myrtle Beach golf vacation.
But what you’ll quickly find is that you’re going to be inundated with options galore. Those gargantuan oceanic sculptures and fliers all around town could make your head swim. We’re here to flow your ebb, steering you in the proper direction.
If you’re staying in city limits or in the nearby communities, you’re only a short drive away from any of these four tried and true sea-blue choices.
THE BUFFET 
That line out the door at 4:30 isn’t some marketing technique. It’s the real deal.
<a href="https://captaingeorges.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Captain George’s Seafood Buffet</a> (29th Avenue and U.S. 17, across from Broadway at the Beach) uses its bright blue facade and prime location to draw in customers. Once there, most elect to come back because that buffet is a seemingly mile-long venture where multiple plates are frequently used simultaneously.
Seriously, there are 20-something entrees alone.

LAID BACK AND CONSISTENT 
<a href="https://mrfish.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mr. Fish’s</a> renovated motif (6401 N. King’s Highway) was a perfect complement to the food that already existed on its menu.
Sharing a roof with its fish market lets you know that anything you order here is going to be fresh and prepared as such. There’s no nuking going on at Mr. Fish. But there is a menu capable to appeasing any seafood palate or stomach depth.
The light eaters can jump all over the crab cake sandwich or tacos while the “haven’t eaten in three days” part of the crowd can tackle the blue crab cluster boil or seafood Alfredo. For either group, just make sure you get an order of arguably the best Crab Rangoon in the area to start things off on the right foot.
HOLE IN THE WALL 
Full disclosure: We stumbled into <a href="http://mrsfishseafood.com/Mrs._Fish_Seafood/Lunch_Menu.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mrs. Fish</a> sometime around 2006 thinking we were headed to the previous entry in this list. It’s been a glorious find for going on two decades.
Located at 919 Broadway, Mrs. Fish has sustained with a simplistic and consistently productive menu that doesn’t over reach. The daily lunch special gives you a choice of eight or nine items with fries for under $10. And if you’re popping in for dinner, just about everyone who doesn’t point at something that says “market price” will be out the door south of $20.
The ultra-casual environment clearly isn’t trying to get rich, evidenced by the fact that Mrs. Fish’s final bills could easily be a lot higher.<img decoding="async" alt="Sea Captains House" src="/media/images/SCH.png" style="width: 225px;height: 225px;float: right" />
TO THE NINES 
<a href="https://www.seacaptains.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sea Captain’s House</a> (3002 N. Ocean Blvd.) is often viewed as the end-all, be-all of top-notch dining in Myrtle Beach, and not just for the seafood. If that’s what you’re looking for, though, the jambalaya, seafood muddle, flounder filet and pecan encrusted snapper speak for themselves. Oh, don’t forget the appetizer &#8211; in this case a cup of the she-crab soup.
Sea Captain’s is old-school Myrtle Beach, once used as what we’d now call and bed and breakfast. It evolved over the years, fighting off calls to demolish it and turn it into a large-scale hotel. Since the early 1960s, it’s operated as a restaurant, one that can sustain its location all its own.
The coat check off the entrance is going to let you know that you’re not in any old seafood joint. And the memories of the food you eat here will remind you of that for months to come.
