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.

    The Hot Fish serves excellent food in a relaxed atmosphere. Summer is best as the lawn and gazebo offer more dining options and more people watching. The service is solid and they are efficient in getting meals out hot. Their menu is comprehensive, but not routine. My only complaint the night we ate out is that there was a raucous feud between two "friends" in our dining area that continued way longer than should be allowed in a public forum.

    The food is amazing. We go there often, and it always the best food in Murrells Inlet. It’s worth the visit.

    Excellent seafood. I like the porch area because it is quieter. The only problem was that it was cold and some people would come in and leave the door open.

    We were visiting on a cold and blustery Wednesday evening. Our table was ready and we were surprised at the extensive menu. We shared a sushi roll and then had entrees. I had the yellowfin tuna which was done perfectly. The rice was a bland addition to the plate. My husband had the seafood pasta dish and cleaned the plate before I could get a chance to taste it! The wines by the glass were reasonably priced and very good. Having had not so great meals here in the past, we were extremely pleased with the changes and will return soon!

    Really enjoyed, our first time there. Service was great and chef was very accommodating with a special request, asked for the Seafood Pasta but with the red sauce, should be on the menu!!

    HFC never disappoints. Great selection of well prepared and presented seafood entrees is hard to beat.
