It's a team effort, we dig a pit and line it with rocks and burn a fire for a few days at the least, the morning of the actually clam bake, we ALL go out hunting for Seaweed, in buckets with holes to drain all the water...Once we are ready to start, everyone throws a few hand fulls of seaweed to cover the rocks, and then we start placing the lobsters, corn, potatoes, and cover everything with seaweed and a canvas tarp for about 3 to 4 hours. I'm lucky enough to live on the water and have 4 or 5 island in my area to do this. there is nothing better than a REAL New England Clam Bake, I would incourage anyone that can, to definitely do this at least once.

I used it to get my family to agree that it would be best to cook or boil in pots as opposed to the hot rocks. We decided to have a nice evening fire instead and served all the dishes outdoors in the early evening. This is one to try with friends and family.
