Camilla Seafood

South Georgians love seafood, largely due to their proximity to two coasts. Most Southeast Georgians live within an hour of the Atlantic Ocean while a majority in Southwest Georgia are nearly as close to the Gulf of Mexico.

Most towns of any size traditionally have a fishmonger; this location has been home to Camilla Seafood, and most recently, Terry’s Fish Market.

This is one of my favorite houses in Camilla. It seemed for a time that it was being restored, but on recent trips it seems to just be abandoned.

Scott Street, Camilla

The street was empty at the time I made these photographs, as work was being done on the sidewalks.
