recipe reviews for:

Clam Bake

“This is the most fun you can have with your seafood. It started with the idea of a fun get-together clam bake then took off with a life of it's own. This recipe is a general guide. Have fun, mix and match your favorite seafood. I would ask your fish monger what is fresh, and then decide what seafood to add. I've even added a whole octopus before. Serve with a nice white wine, turn on some music and have fun. Great outdoor meal.”

This was delicious and my guests loved it. Only one comment:Parboil the potatoes and cut the cooking time in half.It will keep the mussels from shriveling up.

I grew up on the bay in MASS and all I have to do is make this recipe to feel back at home. We called it a clamboil and had it every Saturday night (where I live now its just hamburgers and hot dogs). You don't need the chicken broth if you don't have it. Try adding potatoes and onions, and hot dogs and chourico (Portuguese sausage or some other type)to the mix. There is something for everyone in this recipe!

Very good base recipe -- I doubled the recipe and used a 12 qt. stock pot to cook it in. I was a little concerned that the broth might need a little something more so I added a bottle of clam juice, a half of a lemon, cut in chunks, and about 5 whole, peeled cloves of garlic. Also used baby Yukon gold potatoes which were fabulous.
