This area is understandably named the Lowcountry because it is an approximately 80-mile stretch of low- elevation land and is known for features like salt marshes, moss-draped oaks, and old plantation homes. The Lowcountry is identified as much by its character as a precise spot on the map. You’ll know it when you see it: saltwater and marshlands thick with spartina grass; live oaks and Spanish moss; sweetgrass baskets and rich Gullah culture; she-crab soup and shrimp-and-grits and all kinds of seafood deliciousness over rice; raised houses with deep porches and tall shuttered windows; pluff mud and palmettos. Bounded by the Atlantic on one side and the Savannah River on the other, the Lowcountry is one watery place, and the marshlands and sea islands fig 01 Shrimp and Grits that buffer the mainland coast from the throes of the Atlantic make for the kind of vistas that will have you reaching for a glass of sweet tea and seriously considering relocation. WHAT DOES HAVE TO DO WITH FOOD? Lowcountry cuisine is the cooking traditionally associated with the South Carolina Lowcountry and the Georgia coast. It is notably farm-to-table and creates a fusion of local and seasonal ingredients. While it shares features with Southern cooking, its geography, economics, demographics, and culture push its culinary identity in a different direction from regions above the Fall Line (the area where a coastal plain and upland region meet).
