Fish camps in Upstate SC and nearby

 Friends gonna cross state lines in the Buick this afternoon tocheck out a celebrated fish camp in North Georgia I have heard a lot about.  From there hope to check out the Flounder in Spartanburg SC and the Caro Mi in Landrum. Ca Ro Mi not exactly a fish camp but the trout has great reputation.

    Hoping to get some perch with my all you can eat catfish this afternoon. Perch for sure at the Flounder; my late brother the Sweet Jim Willie was a fan. I think Hush puppies at both places and I will try to onion rings. Cracker Barrel has good catfish, but nothing like th fish camp experience.  I liked Brannon's in Gaffney but that was fifty years ago. And thicketty mtn had a camp but it burned down. So at least four, maybe five by Christmas and I will be reporting, co come back.

   Moe's on Stone Avenue n Greenville has good catfish and collards but they do bbq and other things as well. But no complaints about the fish and tartar sauce is good 

    Continuing August 19:  Leatherwood was an adventure indeed, authentic, hardscrabble, the real deal. Industrial fan near the counter as AC was out. They were true to their word, all you could eat. Ambience worth the trip but will not be going back soon. Slaw was good but nothing special about the fish other than the variety. Met a pretty girl trying to find directions, Sweetheart but I'm not 25 anymore and didnt want to scare her.

    I found the way to the Flounder in Spartanburg and a place called the House in Greer but neither are all you can eat. May try to negotiate a Sampler platter. Going to Cap D in Anderson SC today for senior day and hoping for kind price on third piece of fish to go with the the two piece special.   Been a while for Cap D's. It gets the job done. Miss the one in Ft Payne Alabama. Like Krystal hamburgers getting harder and harder to locate.
