Frogmore is the name of a community on St. Helena Island, off the coast of South Carolina. The name Frogmore stew (formerly known as Low Country Boil) was invented in the 1960s by the owner of a fish company on St. Helena Island. The dish became even better known in the 1980s, when it was featured on the cover of Gourmet magazine and will probably forever be associated with South Carolina. Still, the recipe may have roots in Louisiana, as it features some of the same cultural influences.
