A "Mess of Fish"

Shuttle Pick-Up @ CHSWF Excursion Hub

Charleston, SC 29403

Fish Camps are central to the Southern experience, places where multiple generations and close friends gather to fish, and so much more. Steeped in the tradition of patiently waiting to snag a fish you’ll later lie about, they are convivial and communal affairs. And we’re channeling that vibe with a rolling tour of multiple Lake Marion fish camps. Hosted by Southern author and fish camp enthusiast, Robert Moss, and joined by Ashleigh Shanti of Good Hot Fish and Tia Clark of Casual Crabbing with Tia, we’ll hear their stories and meet the owners. And of course, we’ll enjoy their iconic pole-to-plate dishes along the way! The experience concludes with a proper fish fry served alongside a bevy of refreshing beers and wines.

This excursion provides an immersive travel experience that cannot be easily secured by most individuals. Being welcomed into these generationally beloved fish camps is, in and of itself, special. Add in the guided learning, the special meal and beverage pairings, and the built-in pause from the outside world, and you’ve got a winning recipe for learning, experiencing and growing.

One of our most sought-after experiences, Excursions transport guests to the sacred nooks + crannies of the Lowcountry and allow for the invaluable opportunity for guests to be guided through an insightful + educational experience that incorporates the charm of Charleston with impeccable cuisine.
