Sitting right at the edge of Port Royal Sound, all of the tables in Hudson’s waterfront restaurant feature extraordinary views for a truly special low-country dining experience. Hudson’s uses one of only two remaining local fishing fleets on Hilton Head Island to bring in fresh-caught seafood straight to our docks and to your table. Their guests often get to share the excitement as fishing crews unload thousands of fresh oysters, shrimp and soft shell crabs from each day’s catch. Bring your family and friends for a special low-country seafood feast that has been a Hilton Head Island tradition for over 50 years!
Hudson’s On The Docks work with fishermen based on Hilton Head Island and in Charleston, Georgia and northern Florida to ensure they get only the freshest seasonal catches such as swordfish, mahi-mahi, grouper, tilefish, triggerfish, vermilion snapper, and black sea bass. All of their fish are brought in whole, filleted in-house, and added to the daily lunch and dinner specials.
Each Spring, they have their own soft shell crab shedding operation at Hudson’s. Their shedding boxes are constructed in the packinghouse with a water circulating system to facilitate and manage the molting process. When the crabs back out of their shells, they are immediately removed and served to hungry guests. Last year they shed out and served over 2,300 soft shell crabs.
They seat on a first come, first served basis. No reservations or call aheads accepted.
