Frogmore Stew, - named after the town of Frogmore, South Carolina, (no frog meat whatsoever) is associated with the Steamer Restaurant on Lady's Island, South Carolina, but is available all over the low country; a South Carolina seafood dealer, who claims to have invented the dish, campaigned unsuccessfully to have the popular stew named the official seafood dish of the state. The dish can be complicated and hence is often made for festivals and community events in immense quantities. The stew will probably start with a stock made from vegetables and perhaps shrimp shells, invariably with heaps of the chef's favorite seafood season blend. Subject to the usual variations, the gist of the stew will include crabs, shrimp or both, some kind of sausage, a good deal of corn, and aromatic vegetables, herbs and spices. The Lowcountry Boil is, depending on opinion, either a variant of Frogmore Stew or the very same thing.
