Yep. Gullah or Geechee stew is another name it goes by here. Especially in those back road local places.

Re: Eric's C21
I was in a Marine squadron that trained other units in adversarial (communist) tactics. We used to go to Beaufort, SC every year. One of the officers was previously stationed there and had a friendship with a plantation manager. He would come out one afternoon during our two weeks there and bring all the fixings for a Frogmore stew. I would help him clean the crabs and then throw them in. It was a great time. The fresh crabs made a difference to what everyone else calls a low country boil. This guy made it better and I just can't duplicate the memory or the flavors. Something about a group of Marines, great food and beer...
Oh yeah, your boat looks good too!

Great memories Barry! Thanks for sharing that. I know exactly how you feel. There is nothing like the brotherhood of military life, I miss it. I have had the stew with fresh crabs and you are dead right, That's take it to a whole new level! I'm to far from the coast to get them, I've tried adding snow crab to it and it's good too, but, not the same. Happy Forth of July Leatherneck, From this old Salty Squid!! God Bless you and Thanks for stepping up and serving.BB Sig wrote: ↑Tue Jul 04, 2017 7:18 am I was in a Marine squadron that trained other units in adversarial (communist) tactics.

Eric, let me know if you want to arrange a quick shipment of some freshly caught crab. Dry ice and styrofoam will keep them safe for quite a long time.

BB, your boys have been raising heck over on PI just as vigorously as when you were here. I love the morning PT drifting over the water followed by the ranges opening at 6:18am every day. Freedom has a price. Few Americans really get that. I'm privileged to be reminded of that price everyday.

Re: Eric's C21
And I remember being at the range and seeing boats thinking how much I wanted to be on one!
Fond memories of PI but glad that chapter is over.
