The She Crab Soup at The Sea Captain’s House Restaurant is so rich and creamy and so full of delicious crabmeat that eating it feels like a wonderful indulgence. The ingredients in this soup don’t overpower the delicate crab. You taste thick cream, butter and a subtle taste of sherry. But the crabmeat is the star of the show.

The Sea Captain’s, which was built in 1930 as a beach cottage, is one of the long-time favorite restaurants on the Grand Strand, and it’s one of the few oceanfront restaurants. 3002 N. Ocean Blvd., Myrtle Beach, (843) 448-8082, seacaptains.com —GF
