An Elegant Clambake
A Sophisticated Reinterpretation of a Beloved New England Summer Tradition
There's nothing more New England than a traditional Yankee clambake. Historically cooked over hot coals in a pit dug in the sand, whole lobsters are steamed with sweet summer corn, soft-shell clams, a few new potatoes and perhaps some mussels to boot. This elegant version offers a sophisticated twist on the classic recipes - and best of all - there are no bibs required!
