Charleston Currents – she-crab soup

HISTORY: She-crab soup

S.C. Encyclopedia | She-crab soup is uniquely Charlestonian-a silky, seafood chowder with a European heritage.

The dish helped put Charleston on the regional culinary road map, as surely as Philadelphia’s cheese steaks or Chicago’s deep-dish pizzas. Shrimp and grits are perhaps the only items appearing more often on the menus of Charleston restaurants than this elegant appetizer.
