One of the sandwiches at Leon's Oyster Shop made Garden & Gun's list of "Ten Must-Try Southern Sandwiches." The downtown restaurant's Crispy Catfish sandwich not only made the cut, it was the only South Carolina offering on the list.
Here's what the periodical had to say:
"A breading with three-quarters cornmeal and one-quarter flour, seasoned with Old Bay, coats the farm-raised North Carolina fillets. Sesame seeds top the mayo-smeared bun. Inspired by Fishnet Seafood, a roadside joint on the Charleston outskirts (where Leon’s co-owner Brooks Reitz once ate a perfect fish sandwich on the trunk of his car), and by the Elks Lodge fish fries his grandmother hauled him to when he was a boy in Henderson, Kentucky, the sandwich at this neo-roadhouse is an argument for restraint that requires no embellishments, save a quick hit of (Red Clay) hot sauce."
