Chef's Tips
Choose the Right Pot – Make sure your pot has a strainer/steamer basket and a handle. This will come in hand when lifting the seafood boil from the boiling water.Â
BUTTER – When it comes to a seafood boil, there's no such thing as too much boil. Rather than pouring your butter on top of the seafood, we recommend giving everyone their own ramekin so that they can dip and dunk however they please.Â
