DO I NEED TO UPLOAD MONEY TO MY CCMF WRISTBAND THIS YEAR?

Nope! You can pay by cash, credit or your wristband. If you want to use your wristband to pay for all your on-site purchases, you just register it with your credit card. It will only charge your card for purchases you make on site. It’s just like carrying your credit card around, but on your arm. You can do that here: http://CCMF.com/Wristbands.

Seafood fans know they’re in for a treat when the catch of the day catches their eye before they even make it to the table. This month, The Flying Fish will be celebrating their eighth anniversary in North Myrtle Beach.

First-time guests will notice right away that the restaurant also is a market, with some of that day’s haul on display, including entire fish on ice gazing woefully through the glass. This fresh food is one of the many reasons The Flying Fish is so popular, with the business promising less than 48 hours between boat and plate.
