I have been to Hyman's Seafood multiple times, and each time my family and I feel more welcome there.  I am shocked by some of the bad reviews here.  It seems that there is an air of jealously from a recent posting from a nearby establishment.  Owner Eli Hyman is one of the most charming, warm individuals in Charleston and always comes over to our table to say hello when he is there and even advises well on what to do in Charleston that weekend.    The food is also exactly what I expect: huge portions,  delicious fish (they are clear on what is frozen and what is fresh...JUST ASK!!!), and the best hush puppies in town!  I recommend the flounder - it is super tasty and it is always fresh!
Pros:  Fried seafood!,  friendly management/service, downtown location
Cons:  line can be long - worth the wait
