Early Morning, Port Royal, South Carolina

"From our boats to your table!"

It's a steamy June morning in Port Royal.

The shrimp boats are in, fish selected from the local docks,

and Seafood Express is ready for customers.

The Reaves family has been in business since 1970. They own three shrimp trawlers, five oyster boats, and a fleet of trawlers and skiffs used for clamming and crabbing. What they don't catch in their family-owned boats they buy from other local fishermen.

 

"Yum yum"

 

"Eat fresh local seafood"

 

"Eat more fish"

 

 

 

 

 

With 86% of the seafood consumed in the United States imported,

it's nice to be able to

"buy local".

  1. Love the fresh, local Georgia shrimp. Buy ours at Ken's Seafood, it's fresh. We like it so much Mac made a painting of their little store and gave it to them.

  3. Oh, to be that close to fresh fish!
    You may have inspired me to shop more often at the fish market in town - which travels to Boston for their supply - instead of the grocery store.

  6. I am by the sea at the moment staying with the family in a rented cottage which is part of a lighthouse. Anyway what I meant to say was the seafood is delicious. Local is best.

  9. Very lucky to have fresh fish at your doorstep so to speak. We don't have to go too far ourselves, but the fish has always been on ice etc.

  13. That is the best way to have seafood, fresh and local. Considering the percentage of imported seafood you have struck it rich.
