The Seafood Academy, 7535 Garners Ferry Road Suite G: 2019 no comments
The Seafood Academy started in the old TGI Friday's location in Richland Mall in, I believe, 2014. After that, in 2016, they moved to East Pointe Plaza on Garners Ferry Road.
I'm unclear exactly when they closed, but I can't find any reviews later than 2018, so I will round up a bit and say 2019.
The suite is currently being refitted as a blood plasma center.
(I'm pretty sure this came up recently, but looking at the comments, I'm not seeing who it was to give a hat tip.)
S & A Seafood, 1212 Sunset Drive: September 2022 (Temporary) 1 comment
S & A is the follow-on in this much restauranted building to Uncle Ned's. According to their web site, S & A has another location in Blythewood. This location is now closed for construction (though I did not notice any going on). The signs say it is temporary, and hopefully it will be.
Krab Hut, 280 Harbison Boulevard: Late August 2022 1 comment
I ate in this building a number of times when it was Chili's, but not since then. Krab Hut was part of the wave of crab-themed restaurants that has washed over Columbia during the past few years, leaving us, I suspect, a bit over-crabbed. (In fact, the Harbison Ryan's also became a crab eatery). Judging by the Google reviews, I think this place closed at the end of August, and is already setting up to be a Korean hot-pot & barbecue restaurant: Kpot.

Sushi Yoshi, 2019 Devine Street: Late 2021 3 comments
Since I am not a seafood person, and definitely not a raw seafood person, I wasn't really aware of Sushi Yoshi in Five Points. Online reviews suggest it was a quirky little place with a small staff and idiosyncratic seating arrangements. As nearly as I can tell from those reviews, they probably closed late in 2021, as a January review mentions that a "temporarily closed" sign had been up for several months by that point.

Cod Tail Seafood & Chicken, 2450 Decker Boulevard: April 2022 7 comments
Cod Tail (a name, which I've said before, I really do not at all like) was the follow-on in this space to Rush's, which closed in 2019. Cod Tail opened sometime after February 2021, meaning it lasted a bit over a year.
Since I don't like seafood, I never checked the place out, but judging by the sign on the drive-through, they were having issues before they actually shut down. It appears that the Charleston location is still open, or at least the web site still works.

Crabby's Cajun, 1115 Assembly Street: December 2021 5 comments
Crabby's was the follow-on operation in this space to Takosushi and apparently closed at the end of the year. As I am not a seafood person, I never stopped by, but this was one of a wave of crab-oriented places that have opened in the area over the last few years. I guess it's possible the wave has crested, or, given the history of this storefront, it may just not be a great location for a restaurant.

Ocean View Seafood, 1904 Broad River Road: Late June 2021 (Open Again) 7 comments
As pointed out by commenter Tom, Ocean View Seafood on Broad River Road is closed for remodeling. The work seems to be ongoing, so hopefully it won't take too long.
I'm pretty sure this building used to be a steakhouse, but I'm not sure what chain it belonged to.

UPDATE 22 January 2023 -- Open again, and has been for a while I think:
Flo's Place, 3797 US-17 Business (Murrells Inlet): Late 2018 2 comments
I had not realized that Flo's Place in Murrells Inlet was closed until I drove by recently and saw a different sign. I never ate there myself, not being a big seafood fan, but an aunt did, and declared the place "fun". Last week I was able to google up a news article to the efect that the owners were retiring, but today I can't find that information. I do see a listing for an auction of the quirky decor, which took place in early 2019, leading me to put the closing date as late in 2018 (and there are reviews up through September 2018).
Here is a 2017 Sun News article on Flo's in operation.
The space is now American Steak & Oyster Bar.
Bricktown Bistro & Raw Bar, 4561 Hardscrabble Road Suite 108: 23 August 2020 1 comment
I was unaware of Bricktown Bistro until commenter Sidney mentioned that it was closing, so I can't say a lot about it other than it is gone. (These pictures were from the final day of operation).
I do notice that the roadside marquee perpetuates the confusion between Hardscrabble & Hard Scrabble that came up here a week or so ago.
