All of your food can be cooked for your clambake in your own home kitchen or on a BBQ grill separately, your lobster, clams and other dishes will come out tasting as if they were cooked in a pit by the ocean.

Wash the clams, mussels and potatoes thoroughly. Peel the onions (not the potatoes) and remove the silk from the top of the ears of corn for your clambake.

At a traditional clambake, the ingredients are layered with a sea vegetable called rockweed. This plant, which grows along the shore of the North Atlantic, has small pockets filled with seawater. These burst during cooking, adding moisture and the flavor of the ocean for your clambake.

Serve your seafood with plenty of melted butter so everyone has enough for dunking steamers and lobsters! Lemon wedges can be squeezed over all the seafood. Nothing completes a clambake or lobster bake like delicious New England clam chowder, cole slaw, and Boston baked beans.
