Dayboat seafood served in a 1912 factory, still partly used to process fish, with dockside seating.
Hudson’s Seafood House on the Docks has been serving the freshest local seafood and fare on Hilton Head Island since 1967.
All tables in our waterfront restaurant feature extraordinary views of Port Royal Sound for a truly special low-country dining experience.
Guests often watch and share in the excitement as our fishing fleet brings in unload thousands of oysters, shrimp and soft shell crabs from each day’s catch . . . straight from the waters of Port Royal Sound, across our docks, and into our kitchen.
Bring your family or friends for a special low-country feast that has been a tradition for locals and visitors alike for over five decades. We look forward to seeing you at Hudson’s on the Docks!
