The original Hot and Hot Fish Club was founded in the late 1700’s by the planters of All Saints Parish. The social club was dedicated to epicurean pursuits; gourmet food, strong drinks and festive times. The first club was said to be on Drunken Jack Island, located just a few miles south from here. Members of the original club described their past time spent on the island as the “happiest hours of their lives.” The Club was dismantled and finally laid to rest after the Civil War. An ever shifting sand bar off the coast of Huntington Beach State Park is all that remains of the original site. The Hot Fish Club today is located in the oldest existing restaurant building on the Grand Strand. Hot Fish Club remains a favorite gathering place today for discriminating locals and is open to everyone seeking Great Food, Great Drink, and Lively Conversation, in the spirit of those earlier revelers. We pride ourselves on our personal service and our desire to satisfy each guest.

    Excellent food and super comfortable atmosphere! Looked very popular for locals on a “nice night out” and groups for celebrations ! We definitely will be returning for sea bass, again, before we leave the area. Menu is huge so something for everyone! Highly recommend!!

    This was our third time at Hot Fish Club and it’s become one of our favorites. I have yet to have a bad meal here. It can get louder, and more crowded, especially during tourist season but definitely a great place to eat.

    We brought guests from out of town and we all had wonderful time. Food was excellent Jackson our server was very nice and attentive, we wanted for nothing. Our guests were really impressed with everything. They will be coming back. Also love being able to reserve table online. Just wish you could request a server you've had in past, like Jackson :)

    The food was delicious. It was a perfect place for Valentine’s Day. Our server, Jillian, was awesome. We will always ask for her.

    I have eaten here many times and everything has been delicious and service wonderful. That being said on this visit our food was terrible and the service questionable. Not sure what happened but will think twice about returning.
