I was at a local store today and the woman working at the checkout
counter showed me pictures of food they had yesterday for a birthday party.

I took one look and said, "Frogmore Stew!" Yep. Crab and shrimp and
small red potatoes and sausage and corn on the cob. A boil.

I wish I could show you the pics. She showed me a pic of the 64 gallon
boiling pot it was cooked in, too. They have an outdoor kitchen.

She said to me, "I don't really like seafood but it sure was pretty."
Pretty? It looked fantastic!

Hand me a bib, lots of napkins, a crab cracker and shrimp pick, melted
butter and let me have at it! Oh, and I'd appreciate a fork for the
potatoes and the sausage. And a bucket for discarding the crab and
shrimp shells and corn cobs, please.

I thought I was going to hear something about frog legs, but nothing? How disappointing.

Reminds me of the Fish Boils in upper Wisconsin. Either one is good

Haha, "click bait" title... I was expecting the same. Seafood sounds
more appetizing, however.

I'm sure glad I wasn't waiting behind you two to checkout! :-)

What's a Shrimp Pick? Something a runted NY Jew in New York with
tiny hands/fingers uses to pick his oversize, bulbous nose?

You'd be wrong about the click bait. Frogmore is an actual place and
no, it has nothing to do with frogs or frog legs. You fell for the
troll-interruptus bait. So sad.

Oh, so sorry. I meant the small fork used to split the shrimp (and
crab) shells and to pick the meat out to dip in the melted butter. Doh!

So it's not something a runted NY Jew in New York with

You're right! She said "64" and my fingers typed gallon. All I know is
it was a very large stock-type pot!

There is at Frogmore, England. The name here in South Carolina (USA)
does come from the British, however. At one point in time (the 17th
century) this area was claimed by Spain, then England, then the Spanish
ran the Brits out. Right now it's called Saint Helena Island. About 25
years ago some people (apparently ignorant of history) didn't think
the name 'Frogmore' sounded very classy so they petitioned to change it
to the name Spain used.

I like knowing about the history of the area where I live. Locals
prefer the name 'Frogmore' better than 'Saint Helena', even if they
don't know where the name came from. "Frogmore Stew" is fun. "Saint
Helena Stew" just doesn't have the same ring to it.

Never used a crab cracker... and a shrimp pick? What is that?

This explains why you don't like shrimp or blue crab.
No small fork for either.

Shrimp peeled by hand.
They do sell odd crab picking utensils. I use a vegetable peeler to
extract crab meat. Works much better.

It has a bit of a scoop.

Current Geico commercial:

"SCOOP! There it is!
SCOOP! There it is!"

I like that one.

There are all sorts! I believe Frogmore Stew was an invention of the
folks on the shrimp boats using locally caught shrimp, crab and a type
of regionally made smoked sausage. (These days folks use kielbasa.)
Locally grown small red potatoes and corn (cut the corn cobs into
pieces) were thrown into the pot.

There was a restaurant on Lady's Island called 'Steamer' that went out
of business back in 2018. That's sad, because it had been around for at
least 50 years and was a landmark. I remember going to dinner with my
parents there many years ago. 'Steamer' had Frogmore Stew on the menu
and had dining tables specifically designed to hold a tin bucket in the
middle in which to discard the shrimp and crab shells and corn cobs.
Sadly, there is now a Wendy's hamburger joint where 'Steamer' once stood.

I never said I don't like blue crab. It's just too darn much work for
the little bit of crab you get. Shrimp is kind of bland but I'll eat
it. Frogmore stew calls for your favourite, Old Bay boil seasoning.

I also like earlier in the commercial where the girlfriend with the

I already explained that. It's a three-tined small fork used to split
and eat the meat from the large shrimp and/or the crab.

Oh, they made this non-traditional and used Alaskan snow crab legs.
They had been previously frozen... oh dear. You definitely need crab
crackers and picks to get at the meat in those.

You really need to stop picking at nits. It's getting old.

Just to get an idea about the size, a standard US oil barrel is 55 gallons. 64 gallons is not much more. I once had a friend that used a retired steam kettle as a hot tub. Now that was BIG.

Just to be anal about it, oil barrel is 42 gallons. Bourbon barrels
are 53 gallons. Wine barrels can vary by types, Bordeaux is 59 gallon
but Burgundy is 60.

Typical steel drum is 30 or 55 gallons.

Thanks for the clarification. I was, indeed, thinking of the steel *drum* as is often used for burn barrels.

Biggest cooking pot I've ever seen is an official crab steaming pot.
Large pot with a steamer basket and lid. Probably maybe 24 quarts?

Certainly not for snow crab legs. Those aren't brittle. Just break on in
half. No need for a cracker or a pic.

King crab legs are very brittle and I just smash a leg section with my
fist to get at the meat. Still no pic needed for that.

The pics or alternatives are for the smaller crabs.

Do I need a pic to pick at nits? They must be small.
