There’s nothing quite like gathering around a table piled high with steaming crab legs, shrimp, corn on the cob, and potatoes. At City Seafood, we honor the rich tradition of the seafood boil with our signature seafood boil box—it's more than just a meal. It’s a cultural experience, a celebration of flavor, and a time-honored way to bring people together.

Where It All Began

The roots of the seafood boil stretch deep into American history, with strong influences from the Gulf Coast, Lowcountry (South Carolina and Georgia), and Louisiana Creole and Cajun cuisine. Each region has its own signature style and local ingredients, but they all share the same heart: fresh seafood, bold spices, and community.

• Cajun & Creole Boils: Originating in Louisiana, these boils are known for their fiery spice blends and iconic additions like crawfish, andouille sausage, and zesty seasonings.

• Lowcountry Boils: Popular in the Carolinas and Georgia, these tend to be milder in spice but heavy on coastal flavors, with shrimp, corn, red potatoes, and smoked sausage.

• New England Boils: Up north, clambakes and lobster boils are the tradition—cooked in sand pits or pots with seaweed, clams, mussels, and sweet corn.

These boils were often thrown as community gatherings—whether on fishing docks or in someone’s backyard—where food was poured out onto paper-covered tables and eaten with your hands. No plates. No pretense. Just pure flavor.
