clambake

Hundreds of years before Europeans arrived on New England shores, Native Americans created the clambake by digging pits in the sand to steam them with lobster.

These clambakes are a family and tribal tradition, said Mills, the Suquamish elder.

I live in a city apartment with no outdoor space, but that doesn’t stop me from regularly making a full-on New England-style clambake for dinner.

One group will play in the PGA Tour’s Pebble Beach Pro-Am, a tournament that started as a clambake hosted by the crooner Bing Crosby.

If clambakes and lobster dinners are your typical cookout fare, be sure to give this dish a try.
