Gilligan's Steamer and Raw Bar

JOHNS ISLAND. This popular local mini-chain is tops for casual dining and is especially good if you're in the market for a family-oriented place. Seafood comes steamed, grilled, and fried, so you can choose how best to enjoy grouper, salmon, shrimp, and the like. Shellfish prepared in a cast iron pot is delicious, as is tilapia cooked in a brown paper bag. Platters and combination plates expand the possibilities, and steaks, chicken, pastas, and burgers are available to folks who don't care for fish. Don't forget to try their hushpuppies!
