Clambake

"Basically a party in a pot!"

Throwing a backyard clambake is a delightful way to gather friends and family for a day filled with great food, laughter, and unforgettable memories. This coastal tradition, steeped in history, invites participants to come together and enjoy a unique culinary experience.

A clambake typically features:

• Clams

• Seafood (like lobsters or crabs)

• Sausage or hot dogs

• Vegetables (corn, potatoes, etc.)

• Seasonings and sauces
