"Two must-try signature apps sans grouper are the house-made fish spread, a tasty seafood pate served with crackers, and the rich she-crab soup. It is actually made with snow crab, not she-crab, but in the style of the Carolina specialty, and very rich with a lot of crab, butter and cream."

"Hudson's take on it is delicious, you can really taste the crab, but it is thicker and more chowder-style than most, with a float of sherry on top."
