Crosby's Fish & Shrimp Co. — Restaurant in South Carolina

There is just something very special about Folly Beach that is difficult for me to express. It seems to be just far enough away from everything that you can really enjoy its culture, charm, and of course beauty. One such place where you can find all 3 of these traits and more is Crosby’s Fish & Shrimp Co. You will find them on the right, just after you cross the bridge going into Folly Beach. We have stopped in Crosby’s many times now over the years and the Southern Charm has always been the greeting as we walk in the door. These folks will greet you with a smile and are always ready to help you find just what you are looking for in the way of fresh off the boat seafood, just the right bait for the fishing season, local canned goods, an adventure excursion, or maybe just a delicious fried shrimp brunch that couldn’t be any fresher. Did I mention that they have Shrimp Tacos too? They sure do. There is usually a line at the Crosby’s food trailer, but it’s surely worth the short wait. Crosby’s always has a great selection of fresh seafood in their counters, and it is always reasonably priced for each season. Crosby’s also offers a nice selection of their own logo apparel that looks great and makes nice gifts too. A conversation with the owners or any of the staff can lead you to many stories of Folly’s culture through the years. One such story will lead you to know that Crosby’s was one of Jimmy Buffet’s special places to visit when in Folly Beach. You can also stroll out on the dock area where the shrimp boats are to catch a gorgeous sunset or maybe listen to one of the local artists while enjoying a beverage with friends. We always make sure we stop in at Crosby’s anytime we are close by. Hopefully you might make Crosby’s a memorable place to...

Review is based solely on customer service and selection - I will update if purchase is worth more stars. The stars are only for the wide selection.

I was taken aback at customer service. (Imagine soup naz* if you know Seinfeld.) I can’t rate a 1 on that considering everyone else seemed very happy and helpful, and even having fun with customers. I thought maybe it was just me, but after walking out (with what seemed to be a regular, or friend, he knew the gentlemen there) he agreed.

I ordered 3 lbs of shrimp, I was asked how many people. 2 people. The woman proceeded to say “ok 1lb” and walk away. I had to correct her, 3 lbs. She stopped filling my order to stop and scoff “3lbs for 2 people?!” I had to say it again, and explain myself, like I was a kid? I felt better when the gentleman walked out saying it was a crazy comment - that “this is the best shrimp and we need to eat it before the fish do”.

I know this is the best shrimp. I drive two hours for it. I don’t want to drive another two hours in a day when I hoover 1 lb.

Maybe it’s meant to be “Crabbys” not...

Very friendly and helpful staff. The freshest seafood where the boats pull right up to the market. I went down to Charleston to visit my brother and for the first weekend of oyster season picked up a full cluster of oysters for 65 bucks at Crosby's. Can't beat it.

I did stop at another fish market prior to this and the staff was just rude and seemed to cater more to their kayak rental customers than people that actually wanted to purchase fresh seafood. That place didn't even offer local oysters! I'm just guessing but I'm thinking the local fisherman didn't want to deal with them either.

I was going to travel 10 hours with a full cluster of oysters and needed to keep them fresh for my private club that I work at. Crosby's expert staff advised me on how to best pack, travel and deliver the oysters. I can't thank them enough. True professionals are so helpful. Hell. I even cut my finger packing the oysters and they gave me a damn Band-Aid!

Love these people, give them your business. They deserve it....
