Our recommendation for best Seafood in Marion is Hook & Anchor. Lightly breaded and features the Carolina's own Calabash style fried shrimp. If they're open for their Sunday Lunch Seafood Buffet, it is the BEST!!!

Nobody seems to know what to call this place, the Marion Event Center, The Marion Business Complex or what showed up in my search, the Municipal Event Center.
