Huck's Lowcountry Table....

Some great seared scallops. Tasty!

Years ago,living in Tallahassee, I would take my small boat out into the Gulf of Mexico and pluck fresh scallops.

Pop them from the shell and pan fry the little beauties in butter.

These were about that good at a small upstairs restaurant on the Isle of Palms called Huck's.

I had been there before when it was the One-Eyed Parrot. Still the same great beach view.

The server asked about dessert.

I was thinking "No, you've had a great meal - and an appetizer of crab cakes and fried green tomato - so quit while you're ahead."

But then she suggested ice cream - perhaps some "crunchy Strawberry."

I am so glad I said yes.

Had not really thought of pecan halves before as having a crunch factor.

(Click on the photos - twice - for delicious detail.)

Downstairs from Huck's is the Banana Cabana.

That's the place with the toilet seat hanging on the door to the restrooms.

Signage is important.

So, Where's The Men's Room......?

I like good signage.

Clear and precise.

Short and to the point.

Asked and answered.

Know where to go when you gotta go.

Don't need to take a bath.

Avoids the need for multi-lingual.

Probably more tourists have seen this than year 'round residents.

Another view of the Polite City.

Come in and have a seat on the Isle of Palms.

During the 22nd annual Lowcountry Blues Bash.

Tonight it's back downtown to Mad River Bar & Grille for the afternoon John Primer show 2-5.

Gary has worked his butt off to bring the Blues to us and it's appreciated!

Thanks Gary.

The Chicago Bluesman will be joined by our own Shrimp City Slim on keys.
