Wikipedia goes on to explain that the geography is the main factor in distinguishing the region’s culinary identity from other areas of the South. There’s an abundance of shrimp, fish, crabs, and oysters in the estuary system, and the marshlands of South Carolina are also conducive to growing rice, and that grain has become a major part of the everyday diet over time.
