The "Codfish"

According to Jack Dudley in Swansboro - A Pictorial Tribute, Rob Williams was the owner of Swansboro's most nostalgic honkytonk - which operated from the late '30s through the early '40s. Old timers invariably mention the "Codfish" in any discussion of Front Street. 

The "Codfish" was located in front of the business which currently exists on Front Street in Swansboro. The brick foundation of the old "Codfish" is still visible along the sidewalk.
