We don't have seafood boil in New Zealand. But we eat lots of seafood. In summertime we go diving for paua and crayfish and mussels and kina. Growing up my ex husband was raised on seafood in the weekends his dad would take him and his brothers to get pipis. Alot of poor families ate alot of seafood when i was growing up the sea supplemented their food pantry. 🙏❤️ but families that weren't poor ate seafood alot too.
I’m a 50yr old southerner who’s cooked seafood boils and been to lots of seafood boils. We did seafood boil for Father’s Day. I have NEVER made it with or eaten it with eggs or vegetables other than corn. How people in South Carolina make seafood boil… In a large pot combine water, seasoning like Old Bay or a bag of Cajun mix, a beer or more depending on how much boil you’re doing, and quartered lemons or limes. Bring everything to a boil. Add potatoes and sausage then crab legs, corn(if the corn is fresh you may need to add it before the crab legs) crawfish and shrimp. Add food ingredients as each item is almost done so you don’t overcook anything. The crab, frozen ears of corn and the shrimp cook pretty fast so they go in last. If you do crawfish, or clams watch them carefully they cook fast and can get really mushy. Set aside a bowl of Old Bay or Cajun mix to sprinkle over the entire boil once you take it out of the water. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over boil, sprinkle spice mix over it and serve. 🤤
Thank you for chiming in! The eggs are definitely a CZcams thing. As for the veggies, I've always had corn, potatoes, and broccoli. I added the romanesco and carrots to have extra.
@@SansaCooksI'll add crawfish & mussels too💕. Never had 🥚 w/it. Curious if it has that 🥚'y smell⁉️ Not against 🥚, I just make 36 😈'd🥚's for my granddaughters Bday Party Sat🙇❣️ As for sauce, spicy🔥 cocktail & romalaude (sic)sauce, Yummy‼️💕✌️🇺🇸🇨🇱
I’m from northern New England, along the coast. I grew up with lobster and clambakes right on the beach, then I moved to the Chesapeake and learned to love steamed crab feasts. My Vietnamese friends taught me about crayfish in New Orleans, but I’ve never had a seafood boil. I’ll have to give this a try. Thanks Sansa!
I gotta goto the grocery soon. Thanks for providing my grocery list! I think I’ll spike the boil with young ginger, black garlic, lime leaf and enoki mushrooms at the end 😋. I might get some kelp noodles too! Oh, thank you thank you!🙏🏾
I’m from S Louisiana, boiled seafood is a way of life. 😂 I use “Louisiana crawfish, shrimp & crab boil” powder, a cap full of the liquid & we season our water til we are sneezing. Then you add in potatoes, garlic, onion, lemons, oranges, corn, mushrooms, asparagus, then the seafood of choice. We generally boil outside in a massive pot so we share. We generally boil 1 type of seafood at a time because the seasons & pricing as well as availability of the seafood. We are leaving crawfish season, and opening crab season. Who cares about Summer, Fall, Winter, Spring… we had crawfish, crab, Mardi Gras seasons down here. 😂 Where I am happy about crab season- blue crabs- hurricane season (which is now) sucks! There’s been flooding in grand isle already from that Alberto.
Crawfish, crab and Mardi Gras, oh my that sounds divine. I Love love love Cajun boils. Your suggestions sounds great too. Also, Artichokes in with the boil will make you forget about anything else for a little bit. Lol. Probably gonna be a lot of flooding in La and other gulf coast states this summer so stay safe down there.
@@bethanythepaleone we have thrown in so many things. We’ve done artichokes, boudin, boiled eggs, canned veggies (peel off the wrapper, poke some holes, dump out the liquid, and throw in the can), but I think the weirdest thing, that actually worked was a whole pineapple. Thanks!
I'm not one for dipping sauces, I like to just taste seafood (and steak, and .. and...) .. but the broth from a boil is awesome frozen in ice cubes and stored in bags, readily available for many recipes especially soups.
I love how meals are called different things around the world. This reminds me of a hot-pot style, with a twist. I’ve had other ones that are like this, but the names are just for local dishes -west side wash up (cause it “washed up” on the shore, “lazy stone soup”, etc. It looks fab and I hope it tasted fresh and satiating!
I have never had seafood boil, I am a minimalist when it comes to seafood and all the recipes I had seen have way too many seasonings. A nice salt pepper and lemon stock is what I would do. I was just talking to my niece about doing one this coming week and your video is perfect for cooking times and all!!! You read my brain!!!
I am another rando who has never has a seafood boil, but i think that's gonna change soon. I'll omit the potatoes and probably add some clams and mussels. As for dipping sauce, I'd probably do some herbed butter.
Dad used to make something called lobster salad. Basically: stew veggies (potatoes, peas, corn, carrots, etc) on a platter w/lobster stripe down middle + lettuce & onion salad stripes on both sides of lobster (veggies & salad prepped w/olive oil & vinegar) + squeezed lemon juice over everything + thin layer of mayo + Decoration over mayo: boiled eggs separated yolk & whites & passed thru mesh strainer to create confetti. the white & yellow egg confetti used for simple patterns. boiled, sauteed or breaded shrimp around bottom of platter. this was my birthday request every July.
I think I've commented before that seafood boils are not a "thing" over here, but it does look delicious, I might give it a try, maybe when the fam comes over! I like the sound of that dressing too. Cheers, darl'.💖
YUMMM that looks yummy. I have not attempted to make any kind of boil at my house, but I have attended multiple crawfish boils. Crab boil sounds delicious too. I might give that a try but I will most likely be more heavy handed with seasoning. In my opinion, if you ain’t sneezing, it ain’t enough seasoning. Great suggestion! Thank you:-)
Lol I would definitely wanna eat this but Ill probably never unless I become rich cause 1, we cant just buy snowcrab where I live & though we have our own beautiful Swedish crab, the cheapest currently is about 22 dollars for 1! Crayfish is probably the cheaper option but still pretty pricey. Unfortunately such shellfish along with shrimps, are not cheap here. But have had an amazing seafood platter when on a cruise once, so tasty!
In New Zealand they have a meal called a "boil up" and you see it every now and again here in Australia (1/5th of all Kiwis live in Australia so everyone has kiwi friends here). You should look it up to get some inspiration if you want to try something different :)
@@SansaCooks Oh wow! Hangi is amazing. That's another thing you can find here in Aus, but of course, not nearly as common as you see it over in NZ. Did you enjoy your time there? I've only been to Auckland and the Coromandel Peninsula visiting in-laws.
50 years on this planet, but I never had a Seafood Boil. I think that needs to change. Thank you for this easy recipe.
My pleasure--I hope you like it!
I never have either
Don't do it. You'll get addicted 😂
Perfect. That's a high protein animal based diet. That's how i eat to stay lean.

Oh yummmm, that sounds fantastic!
I love doing seafood boils!!!
Me too!
Clarified butter and old bay. Which is why I don't have it often. I'll take it as a sign to have one this week. Looks delicious 🎉
Yup--I love some crushed garlic and salted butter if I'm feeling reckless.

Oooooh, great idea!
61 years old born in the south actually Georgia and I've never had it with eggs I've had it with corn learn something new everyday
It's a big thing on CZcams and TikTok; I had never had it that way before until recently either.
@@SansaCooks I don't have Tik toks this is the first time I've ever seen it

Looks great, I would use butter for the crab.😊
I do love some garlic butter!
Wow 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤

Interesting! Is this something he made up?
Seafood not for me, but it looks divine for someone who does enjoy it ❤
You could easily do it without seafood if you had sausages that you like.
I think I've commented before that seafood boils are not a "thing" over here, but it does look delicious, I might give it a try, maybe when the fam comes over! I like the sound of that dressing too. Cheers, darl'.💖
Hope you enjoy it if you try the recipe--you can make it with just about anything.
❤❤❤❤
YUMMM that looks yummy. I have not attempted to make any kind of boil at my house, but I have attended multiple crawfish boils.
Crab boil sounds delicious too. I might give that a try but I will most likely be more heavy handed with seasoning. In my opinion, if you ain’t sneezing, it ain’t enough seasoning. Great suggestion! Thank you:-)
I love that saying! Check out the recipe for BLoves sauce.
@@SansaCooks I’ll check it out, thank you;-)!
Delicious Sansa. 😊
I made a nice dip the other day, avocado, cottage cheese, garlic, lemon juice and some green herbs. 👌
Oh yummmm! That sounds delish!
yummm. thank you love your content , but this one was a thank you going to try it
I hope you enjoy it!
Seafood boil and a creamy dipping sauce.......who-the-hell told you my native American tribal name???!!!!!!!
😆😆😆😆😆😆😆

I was lucky and got the snow crab on sale. It was just $7.99 per pound.
I use so many spices I only use grass fed butter for dipping
Yum!
Yummmmm ❤❤❤
Watch out for those potatoes! Amberlynn still eats them so I guess they’re safe but just make sure to chew them thoroughly! 😅
😆😆😆
Looks amazing!! Great video!!❤

I've been to New Zealand and I've tried hangi; I really enjoyed it so I'll look up a boil up! Thank you!

Great job 👏👏👏 Really enjoy this content 🎉
Thank you!
Ooh is that batik? Pretty :)
I bought some pretty Indian cotton napkins on Amazon!
My mother loved creating one pot or boil pot meals. This one looks delicious however I'm allergic to Seafood so I'll have to pass.
Thank you--you could do it either just sausage and veggies!
This looks lovely. If you wanted to add corn, when would be the best time to add it?
I'd say the last 5-7 minutes. It doesn't take long to cook at a rolling boil if it's fresh.
🤤🤤🤤🤤😋😋😋😋
Careful with those potato!! People can choke on them and poop their pants! 😂 sorry had to mention this
🤭🤭🤭
How are the multi colored carrots compared to the plain orange ones?
I don't care much for the white ones, but the purple and yellow ones are generally very good and sweet.
Great idea & I love the ratio of veg vs seafood, also having different things besides starches, like the corn is so much tastier & healthier 🎉
Thank you!😊
