In 1950, after years of fishing to provide for their family, Lawrence and Ella High built a one-room restaurant in Calabash. With the help of their children and his mother, Amanda, they began sharing their fresh catches with locals and tourists year round. In the 1980s, their daughter, Sheryl Hardee, assumed the reins of ownership and has continued the tradition of serving the freshest seafood available in a family atmosphere, still prepared in the Southern batter fried style for which Calabash is now famous. Today, the third and fourth generations strive together to provide you with the same quality and hospitality that has been our trademark for half a century. We hope you enjoy your dining experience and visit to our home, the Seafood Capital of the World.
