New England clam bake

The New England clam bake is a traditional method of cooking shellfish seafood, such as lobster, mussels, crabs, soft-shell clam, and quahog. The food is traditionally cooked by steaming the ingredients over layers of seaweed. The shellfish can be supplemented with vegetables, such as onions, carrots, and corn on the cob. Clam bakes are usually held on festive occasions along the coast of New England.
