The Southern Fork

The Heart of a Fried Seafood Tourist Town: Captain and Chef Bob Taylor (Calabash, NC)


Listen Later

Just over the South Carolina state border from Myrtle Beach is Calabash, North Carolina, a small commercial fishing town that's been known for generations, especially for its shrimp. For many beach goers, including many in my family, a trip to the beach wasn't complete without a visit to a fish camp in Calabash. In this conversation, lifelong Calabash resident Chef and Captain Bob Taylor shares insights about his life at Waterfront Seafood Shack. He discusses the unique aspects of living in a tourist town, the importance of loving hard work, and the joy of serving fresh seafood. Bob also highlights his family's culinary traditions, including one special pound cake.
