Lobster Clambake: Not Just For The Summer

By: Shannon Linnen

Summer is a great time for entertaining, and a very fun way to entertain is to invite your friends and family over for a clambake. Lobster and clams cooked over a fire, some exotic drinks, brightly colored decorations and appropriate music make for a great time for everyone.

However, when the weather is not cooperating, or even when winter hits, why not hold a lobster clambake indoors? What a great way to bring the illusion of summer to a cold winter day! And it's a fun, easy and healthy way to entertain.

In place of any old lobster clambake, consider having a super deluxe lobster clambake, which is sure to please a variety of tastes. For your indoor clambake, purchase some fresh lobster, clams, shrimp, mussels, and maybe even some crab. You might also want to include some lobster bisque or clam chowder on the menu, in addition to roasted potatoes and corn on the cob.

Furthermore, besides the food for your super deluxe lobster clambake, you will want to have a good supply of lobster bibs on hand, claw crackers, lots and lots of napkins, and a good supply of pre-moistened towlettes. Seafood is delicious but it can mess up things.

You may ask yourself how you can have an indoor clambake, when the clams and other seafood at a clambake are traditionally cooked in a pit over an open fire. Easy! For this super deluxe lobster clambake you will be doing all of the cooking on the traditional indoor stovetop.

The only special equipment you need to complete the cooking is a lobster stock pot. These are available in a variety of sizes and some come with a steamer rack and basket. They can be found in many cooking supply stores and on the Internet. While looking for your lobster stock pot on the Internet, run an additional search for an indoor clambake recipe that sounds good.

To make preparing for you party and planning even easier, there are many super deluxe lobster clambake kits available. They can easily be found by searching the Internet. Many of the kits contain everything you need, including wetnaps, claw crackers and cloth napkins, in addition to the seafood itself. All you'll need to shop for are the vegetables and you'll be all set for the most popular party of the year.

Just because you don't live near or on the coast does not mean you do not have to suffer without a Super Deluxe Clambake! Now that both Fedex and UPS offer overnight shipping it has never been easier to have some quality fresh seafood sent straight to your door. All you have to do is contact one of the various online seafood vendors, give them a call or visit their website. From there you can order up your clambake and start the countdown until it arrives.
