On Hilton Head, we had good luck at Steamers.  It is
featured in most of the restaurant guides and is located
in a popular shopping area near the middle of the island.
They also have live entertainment.  I had the steamed
seafood platter and had no problems.  Avoid the Crazy
Crab.  I tried to order a plain salad three times and kept
getting an unacceptable imitation!  I ordered the steamed
seafood platter and it came breaded and broiled (breading
not mentioned on the menu), and after sending it back and
having it redone without breading, I still got sprued.

I go to Earthfare in the S. Windermere Shopping Ctr.

I think I would just call them for directions when you get
here.  The # in the phone book is 769-4800 or 769-0794.  I
live in the north area and go to Health Nuts Organic Foods
and Sports Nutrition especially since my wife is on a low
carb diet.  (I'm the celiac) And it is located at 2110
Green Ridge Plaza Corner of Rivers and Greenridge.  Ph #
764-4956.

There are others listed in the phone book.

As far as restaurants I eat at steakhouses a lot such as
the Outback or Ryan's Steakhouse.  I play it safe and
usually have steak and baked potato.  Ryan's has a great
hotbar and is much more economical and I go to Wendy's a
lot and have chili, fries and a frosty if you are in a
hurry.  I will also send you our newspapers web site which
has a lot of tourists information.

When I was there we went to lots of seafood restaurants.  Didn't
have any trouble at any of them.  I just explained my situation,
and they were really willing to work with me.  I made my own
bread and took it with me, as well as crackers, etc.  We just
bought veggies and fruit from the local grocery stores.

I got sprued once at Harold's Diner with an omelette, so I guess
I wouldn't recommend it.  Otherwise no problems.  Have eaten at
Hudson's, Old Oyster Factory, there is a really good restaurant
there called Mi Tierra just barely on the island on the south
side of the road.  I had a rice/shrimp dish that cost about $15
that was absolutely delicious.

Hope that helps.  Sorry I don't know more.  I really don't think
you'll have any problems.  Have fun.  --
