Calabash World-famous seafood Not a beach town, this waterfront community richly deserves mention for its world-famous seafood. The restaurants here were established to showcase the fresh fish and shellfish brought in by the Calabash fishing fleet. Their signature cooking style, lightly battered and deep-fried, is now advertised at restaurants hundreds of miles away. But this is the real deal. The restaurants - many of which claim to be the “original” - line the main streets, vying for tourists hungry for great seafood.
