Lisa was sorry to miss my CreateSouth trip to Myrtle Beach, so back we went last weekend. On Saturday we ventured off the strand in search of some real South Carolina, and we ended up in Conway, where we ate lunch at the Ocean Fish Market. It's a small building on the Waccamaw River, a working seafood store with a tiny kitchen in the back where the staff fries up fish and serves it on white bread with sweet hush puppies and Texas Pete.

I wondered how you pulled that off. There was no way my Wife was going to a blogging convention - even at MB.

I have a first cousin & her family in Conway, but they are major Tabasco fans! (She's from New Orleans, he's from New Jersey.) Texas Pete, of course, is completely inauthentic from a real Texan's point of view.

If by inauthentic you mean "made in Winston-Salem instead of Louisiana," sure. I guess "North Carolina Pete" just doesn't have the same ring. But it was pretty damn good on my fish.

Dude, this is walking distance from my house. Next time you get down this way, give me a call!

That same two blocks you have the Trestle, both the restaurant and bakery, and Crady's. More eating than you can handle.

Will do. This was a getaway weekend with Mrs Cone, and a very unscripted one at that -- but had I known you were so close, I would have rung you up.
