Legal Seafood New England ClambakeThe clambake - it`s an American tradition with a history that goes back to the first settlers. For survival, the pilgrims originally adopted from the local Indians the practice of baking shellfish in a sandpit. Today, the clambake has become a favorite summer ritual that brings friends and family together for an all-American feast� where`s a better place to have a clambake than in the state that`s built on sand.A clambake serves up mouth watering lobster, steamers, potatoes, corn, sausage, and all the fixings, that makes a clambake a culinary tradition - and speaking of tradition, a clambake usually takes place at the beach, but as you can see in the following recipes, a clambake can be prepared on the backyard grill, the stove top, and even the microwave oven.The classic clambake: On the beach in a holeAll amounts in these recipes are based on per person servings.The best (and humane) method for preparing the lobster for these recipes is to freeze them for 10 minutes prior to cooking.
