You know what I mean- casual places in the coastal Carolinas that serve baskets of fried shrimp and fries, fried flounder sandwich, blackened tuna, hush puppies, cole slaw, real BBQ, etc
Why do those places not exist in DC? |

No. That's a soul food place that sells seafood. |

Beachy isn't really accurate. There are seafood place like this all over eastern NC, much further inland than DC is. |

Its not beachy. They're looking for a sit-down restaurant that serves southern cuisine irrespective of the topic environment. Georgia Browns |

Blue Ridge Seafood in Gainesville has that beachy vibe. It's on Lee Highway, off I-66. https://www.blueridgeseafood.com/
