For decades, people in Charleston came to Crosby’s Dock for many reasons. From meeting the fish, crab, oyster and shrimp boats, buying fresh local seafood for sit down feasts, to joining the Crosby family for special events, locals and visitors alike have associated Crosby’s Dock as a place for fresh seafood and good time gatherings.

     En route to Folly Beach and sitting on the banks of Folly Creek, Crosby’s Dock, the newest special event venue in the Lowcountry, is part of Crosby’s Fish and Shrimp Company which offers fresh local seafood, thrilling sunsets and a family-friendly place to go fishing or crabbing. Upon glancing at Crosby’s Dock one is viewing a true icon - an embodiment of Charleston’s coastal character and once thriving seafood industry.

     It’s the kind of setting that has inspired location managers for Hollywood films like Forrest Gump and The Prince of Tides who were looking to mimic coastal cultural vestiges of the Lowcountry’s idyllic charm. Today the preservation of this way of life has become more paramount as the local seafood industry finds itself in a battle to stem the rising tide of foreign imported shrimp that threatens its very livelihood.
