   Do you have to use summer sausage or can you use hot Itallion or other sausages for diffrent tastes ?

   Marilynn – Any sausage should be fine if you wish to change the flavor of the dish.

   How much salt do you use if you only have fresh water?
   How long do you cook the potatoes before you put in the corn? How long do you cook the corn before you put in the crabs? How long after the crabs do you put in the clams? How long before the lobster and how long before the shrimp?

   Can’t wait to try it!

   Bob-
   Salt is your preference, you want the potatoes and corn cooked most of the way before you add the seafood because seafood cooks quickly.

   No offense. But where I come from this dish is called “Low Country Boil”. Whatever the name, it’s delicious!
