A Fun And Easy Clambake At Home

By: Shannon Linnen

The best way to have a blast this summer is to have your family and friends over for dinner. A clambake would be a great idea - cool outdoor atmosphere, seafood cooked over a fire, exotic drinks, bright decorations, and beach music, sounds fantastic, huh?

But, when the weather is not fine, or even when winter hits, why not hold a clambake at home? What a great way to bring the feeling of summer to a cold winter day! And it's a fun, easy and healthy way of entertainment.

In place of any old clambake, consider having a super deluxe clambake, which is sure to please a variety of tastes. For your indoor clambake, purchase some fresh live lobster, shellfish, shrimp, mussels, and maybe even some crab. You might also want to have 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 clambake at home, you will want to have a good supply of 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 things up.

Traditionally, clambakes are cooked over an open fire in a two to three feet deep pit on the beach but since you are preparing the clambake indoors, all you need for cooking are traditional indoor stove tops. Yes, it is quite easy.

The only special equipment you need to complete the cooking is a stock pot. These are available in different sizes and some come with a steamer rack and basket. They can be found in many cooking supply shops and on the Internet stores. While looking for your stock pot on the Internet, why don't you run an additional search for an indoor clambake recipe that sounds good?

If you want your clambake preparation a lot easier, then think about purchasing clambake kits. These kits will contain a lot of things that will be very useful for your party like cloth napkins, claw crackers, and wet naps, with the seafood itself. Just shop for fresh vegetables to add for your clambake and you're all set to have the best seafood feast!

Just because you can't have your super deluxe clambake party outdoors, it doesn't necessarily mean that your party is bound to be boring. Simply use your creativity and you'll be sure that you and your guests will have the most fun clambake at home party.
