A Treasure From The Sea

At the beach dig a hole in the sand, having a width of about 2 feet, length, 4 feet, depth, of 1-1/2 feet. Crease the pit with stones from the beach. Then construct a fire inside the pit and wrap up with rocks from the beach. Heat the stones for about 2 to 3 hours. Take away coals and ashes from the hole. Set up the heated stones equally over the bottom of the hole. Place fresh wet seaweed on top of the hot stones.

Rapidly, layer the food on top of the seaweed, the food should be bedded evenly on top of one another in the following order: clams, mussels, fish, sausage, hotdogs which are covered in cheesecloth, onions, potatoes white and sweet, corn, and lastly lobsters. Wrap up food with a clean, wet cloth. Place the left over seaweed on top of the canvas.

Using a wet tarp over the top of it all will steam the food by confining the steam given off by the hot rocks and seaweed. Make sure there are a few gaps to allow the release of pressure. Cook it for at least an hour. You'll know it's done when the potatoes are soft. Serve it with melted butter and lobster crackers.

A lobster clambake can be cooked in your yard in a metal can, or in a steamer in your kitchen and enjoy your very own Cape Cod clambake with friends and family. Or you could hire a caterer who is specialized in cooking it in vessels which are heated by burning gas. You will be able to buy already cooked clambake from a store as new year gift basket.
