Myrtle Beach restaurant is closed for the winter, up for sale. The seafood market is open.

A landmark Myrtle Beach seafood restaurant remains on the market after nearly six years of being for sale, but is planning to reopen this spring.

Mr. Fish Seafood Restaurant at 6307 N. Kings Highway is planning a March 4 oyster roast to usher in its eighth year at the location. The Mr. Fish brand itself has been a Grand Strand mainstay since 1994.

A planned March 4 oyster roast will kick off seasonal reopening. It closed for the year on Nov. 27.

The Mr. Fish locations at 6307 and 6401 N. Kings Highway are listed through King One Properties International at $1.12 million, according to a posting on LoopNet, an online commercial real estate marketplace.

The market remains open and will continue providing services year-round, co-owner Sheina Hammerman said.

The business — known for its fish-shaped sign and bright blue-and-red exterior — opened in 2009 and relocated to its North Kings Highway in 2013.

The LoopNet listing says all financial documents related to the site “will be provided after an NDA is signed.”

The eatery was evacuated briefly earlier this month following a false bomb threat called into it during a private Drag Me to Brunch event on Dec. 4.

Hammerman said a potential sale is unrelated to that incident.

“We haven’t heard any updates on the bomb threat yet,” she told The Sun News Dec. 14. “It’s in the hands of the FBI. The location has been for sale for 5 1/2 years. It’s a family-owned business that’s been through a lot like very other family business in this country the past couple of years. But we’re excited to open again for the season in March.”
