Dad was an oyster farmer in Australia, I resented it as a kid, back in the 70's, it was a hard life. Technology has made it a lot easier these days and you can make a good living out of it. Looking back, we had a good solid upbringing and being out on the water all the time kept us in touch with nature and gave us a good work ethic

Going from place to place, seeing cultures, tasting food, travelling around, meeting people. Honestly marks kid has the best childhood ever, haha.

Wow, very impressed with Josh from Barrier Island Oyster Co, the amount of knowledge and respect for his craft was admirable, well done. Everything looks so delicious and well sourced, outstanding!

his knowledge and preserving of the habitat was mindblowing,awesome,and heart warming all in one. such a great group of people.

I grew up in North Charleston! Awesome place to live and eat!!

Saturday s with Mark are always the best days ever. I lived in Charleston SC for a few years back in 1984. It was a fantastic place to live. The basket markets where still there….what a great place to live.

Happy eating Mark! Youre the best

Mark, I think you misidentified The Ordinary as Chubby Fish at 11:31 minutes 😬 … Regardless, love seeing you featuring Charleston. 👍🏻 It’s great place to live and more people need to know about it!

You're right. That definitely wasn't Chubby Fish.

Mark, 29:25 was my EXACT same reaction when I first had that plate, plus a tear came out from how delicious it was. I'm soo glad you went to Chubby Fish! Along with the feel of the neighborhood, this was an unforgettable dining experience!

Welcome to Charleston! As a local, it’s great to see our local delicacies featured!

Mark is the best food blogger, eats some of the finest food in the world but isn’t pretentious and you can tell it’s an authentic reaction.

Me checking on how far it is to Charleston just to eat at Chubby Fish! That is one of the most interesting menus I've ever seen!! I would have never thought of incorporating shrimp into a bone marrow dish, but I'm so here for it!!! You can tell the chef is so proud of his food and I have to try it!!! Great video as always Mark!

One of your best episodes ever, and I've been watching for six years!

Thank you so much, Mark, for teaching me about the amazingness of my own country. America is so large and it’s so hard to understand the differences in states and cultures within the United States. Think about how close France, Italy and Germany are to each other, and how different their cultures and food are. American states have a similar independence, and food culture. It’s amazing.

HI Mark and your dear family. My family recently began watching your travels. We are going on a 10 day Boston/Maine trip this month inspired by you! We have reservations at the Union Oyster House and will later make way to the Cabbage Island Clam Bake before heading to Bar Harbor. We're big seafood lovers of all kinds! My wife is Thai and I'm from Miami. We're in Houston now. We never thought we'd be going to Charleston, but that changed after seeing this experience of yours! Thanks much... The Murphy's

Native South Carolina here!!! Once you've tasted our unique seafood and BBQ, you'll be back ......I PROMISE!!!! Nothing else compares to those oysters though. I'm sure that hot sauce is Texas Pete.

Mark looks so happy and in his element sitting at a table with a giant pile of beautiful oysters 🙂 That's some fresh eating right there!

Apparently there a course where they teach you to roll your head back and close your eyes and say Wow on the way back a few times and you also get a certificate and a Lemon at the end from what I've heard, which you can squeeze on any dish! On the certificate it says "Oh Wow, oh wow ,oh wow and ho ho ho " you can then also apply for Santa Claus jobs.

The location title of the first place at 11:28 should be 'The Ordinary,' but it says 'Chubby Fish.' Friendly reminder. 😁 I am immensely enjoying your great content and admire your professionalism. 🙇🏻

Good choice with Chubby Fish. We've been there twice, most recently last week. Love their lamb ribs, wahoo curry and whole fish. Another restaurant I highly recommend for good seafood in downtown Charleston is Pearlz. Also, the Glass Onion in West of the Ashley has amazing shrimp and grits.

As always an awesome video. I wanted to visit Carolina for their BBQ, but Charleston will be on the agenda too!
