Food for Tourists

---

I forgot to mention that I found a good Sushi restaurant Dowtown last night. It looked like half the menu involved tempura or deep fried rolls, but it had all the essentials. Since South Carolina seems to be some sort of crab capitol, I opted for a roll with crab in it (that counts as eating local food, right?). I got something called the SC Crunch Roll, which had soft shell crab in a roll topped with shrimp and avocado and covered in sauce. I also got Salmon, because it's a compulsion with every Sushi outting. The fish was actually quite fresh and the rolls were really good. And the prices were about the same as any other sushi place I've been to anywhere, so I was quite contented.

I swear I'll try some real South Carolina delicacies before I leave here. Fried Green Tomatoes are available almost everywhere I go (except the sushi restaurant), so I'll definitely be trying those at some point. I also want to hit up the Waffle House that I saw near the shipping yard and I really do want to get a picture of that Piggly Wiggly, and go inside if I get a chance. I don't know that I need to try grits in my lifetime, but if the urge strikes I can add that to the list. Are there any other typical southern foods I should make a point to try while I'm here?

You could always try southern fried chicken or cornmeal crusted catfish. BTW, grits were surprisingly o.k....at least back in the 60's. Prolly haven't changed.
