Seafood boil is the generic term for any number of different kinds of social events in which shellfish is the central element. Regional variations dictate the kinds of seafood, the accompaniments and side dishes, and the preparation techniques (boiling, steaming, baking, or raw). In some cases, a boil may be sponsored by a community organization as a fund-raiser or a mixer. In this way, they are like a fish fry, barbecue, or church potluck supper. But boils are also held by individuals for their friends and family for weekend get-togethers and on the summer holidays of Memorial Day and the Fourth of July. 2. There are also companies that can cater a boil for large and small events. While boils and bakes are traditionally associated with costal regions of the United States, there are notable exceptions. For example, the San Antonio Oyster Bake began in 1916 as an alumni fund raiser for St. Mary's University.
