From the Skipper's Fish Camp web site:
"On the banks of the Darien River, Skippers’ Fish Camp offers not
only an unequalled dining experience but also a glimpse into the
pasts of Darien and the historic Colonial Coast of Southeast
Georgia. Elegant views of the Altamaha bio-reserve; public boat
slips; a public boat ramp; a floating dock just for canoe and kayak
enthusiasts; and spectacular sunsets, as well as the best in casual
seafood dining has made Skippers’ Fish Camp the ultimate in
riverside dining. The local shrimp fleet docks right at our
backdoor and provides us with an abundant supply of fresh locally
caught Sweet Georgia Shrimp. We take pride in using only the
freshest ingredients when bringing our servings to the table. While
our McIntosh crab cakes are rapidly becoming legendary, it is
Skippers’ fried shrimp platters, lightly seasoned and battered to
insure that the local flavor of the world famous Sweet Georgia
Shrimp is not compromised, that are packing in happy diners from
around the USA and Canada!
Skippers’ Fish Camp started as a “what if” idea among three guys
old enough to know better, who had been buddies since junior high
school and one younger, and obviously easily influenced, new
friend. About the same time these businessmen were discussing
possible business opportunities, the idea of developing the Darien
waterfront was brought to them by the Darien Downtown Development
Authority. The idea of a waterfront restaurant in downtown Darien
had been kicked around for years, but now the timing was perfect;
the Skipper Seafood Company’s property was for sale! With a deep
breath, restaurateur Charlie Williams, resort management specialist
Jimmy Parker, Brunswick businessman Ken Tollison, and local
contractor Michael Thomas made their commitment to purchase the
Skipper property. With the purchase of the Skipper property, the
four friends began to pursue a dream. The dream became a reality
when, after extensive remodeling, the seafood processing plant was
transformed into a rustic yet modern eatery!
