Add These Five South Carolina Adventures to Your Must-Do List From the mountains to the sea, the Palmetto State has more to do than most states. In fact, it could take a lifetime to see and do it all! But some places and activities belong at the top of the must-do list. Either because they are so very unique to South Carolina, or because they're just so wonderful they really belong on the bucket list. Here are five of the best picks for epic adventures.

How-To Fried Okra No summer is complete without a few batches of homemade fried okra, dredged in flour and fried until golden. These fried nuggets with hints of green peeping through are so delicious, there's no need to add anything except a light dusting of salt. Make this Southern popcorn recipe. How-To Tomato Pie Make the most of those fresh tomatoes with a savory Southern Tomato Pie. It's full of flavor with two kinds of cheese, fresh sun-ripened tomatoes and a buttery pie crust. Serve this beloved dish with a salad for light lunch or as a side with your favorite grilled protein for dinner.   How-To Summer Squash No matter what category a squash may fall under - fruit or vegetable - it is a summertime favorite down south. Squash is great grilled or roasted, but South Carolinian's can't resist a good casserole recipe. Who can resist a cheesy baked casserole sprinkled with buttery cracker crumbs? Indulge in this recipe. How-To SC Grouper Fresh-off-the-boat fish is one of South Carolina's significant resources and grouper continues to be a predominate jewel on many local menus. Grouper is big, plentiful, and hearty, and is widely prepared in a blackened, grilled or fried fashion. Recreate a Chef Ambassador recipe here.
