Whitey’s Fish Camp goes back in time to celebrate its 60th birthday

FLEMING ISLAND – The flashbacks at Whitey’s Fish Camp on Saturday, Oct. 7, included tie-dye T-shirts, peace signs, black lights, luminous colors and prices that took revelers back to 1963 when Whitey and Ann Ham opened their legendary restaurant along Swimming Pen Creek. To celebrate the family had a throwback party that included 60-cent drafts and $6 food specials. The event also included a tie-dye station, Afro wigs, 1960s music and bellbottom pants. The restaurant posted on its social media page: “Whitey and Ann, the original founders (my grandparents!), would be overjoyed to see how their little restaurant, which started with just a few barstools, has become a local icon and North Florida destination. To all our loyal customers, staff, friends, and neighbors who have dined with us, celebrated special moments, and made memories at Whitey's Fish Camp, we extend our deepest gratitude.”
