Stopped on my way in to Fripp. Bought my shrimp and grouper cheeks. Packed the fried shrimp as a sundown snack. Drove down to enjoy the end of the day. Easy...

We went for salmon, and instead of selling the tail sections from the case, the clerk went to the back and pulled out 2 beautiful center filets. 1z1

Gay Fish Co., located in Beaufort, South Carolina, is a historic fishing company that has provided fresh seafood to the local community for more than seven decades. This small but iconic establishment is known not only for the quality of its products, but also for its connection to popular culture. In fact, Gay Fish Co. was one of the sets used for the movie "Forrest Gump," where it was immortalized as the place from which Forrest and his friend Bubba set out to build their shrimping business.

Visiting Gay Fish Co. is like taking a step back in time, into an authentic Southern atmosphere, where fishing is still a traditional activity rooted in everyday life. Visitors can purchase very fresh prawns, knowing they are taking home a piece of local history. The winery, with its rustic charm and connection to a much-loved film, has become an unmissable stop for those exploring Beaufort and wanting to connect with the culture and history of the region.

This place is amazing! It’s even cool just to look at the place from the road across the marsh.

The shrimp are fresh off the boat and the grouper is excellent. We have been on the island for 5 days so far and almost every meal we have had has been made from fresh seafood we got at Gay Fish Company.
