Hmmm – don’t know, hope not because I enjoy the Anchor Line when I’m in Folly – there was an oyster shack, Bowen’s Island, that burned last week – maybe someone was confused?

it , but the words “Fish & Chips” set off a Pavlovian response in my salivary glands. One lives in hope that finally we will have a GREAT f&c place around here. Anyone know anything about The Anchor, like when they...

I’ll be in the Charleston area this July. I’ve heard good things about the fried seafood at both The Wreck and The Anchor Line. We’ll be with our 3 1/2-year-old twins (who do like to eat out). So, if you could...

Why aren’t dark-colored cloth napkins a no-brainer at restaurants?

Sea urchin isn’t just for sushi.

Heading northward, I stopped at the legendary Red’s Eats (Main and Water streets, Wiscasset, Maine; 207-882-6128). They’re a landmark for lobster rolls, though opinion seems extraordinarily divided.
