Low Country Boil

Low Country Boil, still called Frogmore stew by many, is an essential Low Country favorite. Coastal Georgia and the southern portion of Coastal South Carolina, Chatham County Georgia and Beaufort County South Carolina in particular, share geography and a great deal of culture. The Low Country, that area from just north of Charleston to St. Mary's Georgia, offers a myriad of camping, biking, wildlife, and cultural opportunities.  A system of fresh water rivers enrich and nourish this unique part of the Atlantic Ocean and afford visitors arguably some of the most beautiful coastal seascapes known.  The numerous tidal streams winding through the seemingly endless marshes provide perfect habitat for incredible wildlife and - yes - seafood.
Lengend has it, this mystical stew or boil heralds from an American National Guardsman who had the duty to cook for more than 100 soldiers.  He used all the ingredients at his disposal and the end result is something similar to what many of us know as Seafood Boil.  The Guardsman was from Frogmore, South Carolina: hence the name Forgmore Stew.  This improbable concoction of seafood, vegetables and herbs undoubtably leaves the diner wholly satisfied.  Numerous variations exist; however, the general idea is the same: lots of seafood, potatoes, corn, and onions - all tied together by familiar herbs and spices.
