A Fun And Easy Clambake At Home

Summer time is a great time to have fun, and the best way to have fun is to invite your friends and family over for a clambake. Seafood cooked over a fire, some exotic drinks, brightly colored decorations, and appropriate music make for a great time for all.

But what happens when the weather is not good for outdoor partying? Would your plans of a great clambake be useless? Actually, no, because you can still have your clambake feast indoors! Yes, a clambake at home. It’s just the perfect, fun, simple and healthy way to entertain your guests.

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 very special tool you have to have for cooking is a stock pot. These things can be found in different sizes and can come with a steamer rack and basket. Stock pots are sold in cooking supply shops and online stores over the Internet. And if you’re purchasing one online, take a minute to search for good clambake recipes you might want to consider doing.

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!

Though having a clambake at home is not the typical and traditional clambake event that we know and love, it doesn’t mean right away that your party is going to be boring. Just make sure that you use your creativity, be a good host, and your guests will be assured of great food and entertainment.
