New England Clambake For Christmas

November 15th, 2007 · No Comments

It is almost that time of year again…  Time to get out and shop for gifts, decorate the house, put up the tree and the outdoor lights.

All of these things are just part of Christmas, if just one of them was missing it wouldn’t be the same…  The same goes for the festivities that surround Christmas.

Every year native New Englanders enjoy a delicious and healthy clambake dinner with their family and friends.

Lots of families already know they can order an clambake online and have it shipped to anywhere in the continental US but there are still many that have relocated and just wish they could enjoy their scrumptious  tradition at their current location.

Many vendors online now offer traditional New England Clambakes that can be shipped overnight and Quality Fresh Seafood is just one of them.

Regardless of where you purchase your seafood for this upcoming holiday season always make sure the vendor select have the following:

  • online ordering that is safe and secure! (check the lower right corner of your browser to see if the little ‘lock’ is there!)
  •  make sure their phone number is easy to find.
  • verify they use a reputable shipping service (fedex or ups are two good ones)
  • utilize overnight delivery - this ensures your seafood will be fresh!
  • put cold packs into the packaging, and package the seafood in styrofoam.

Those are the main things to look at when ordering your New England Clambake for Christmas!

Have a Great Christmas this year - from Quality Fresh Seafood!

Clambake - A Fantastic Meal To Remember

Clambake - A Fantastic Meal To Remember

When I hear the word, “Clambake” I can’t help but have visions of a young Elvis Presley singing on a white, sandy beach while surrounded by the usual group of beautiful girls. But a clambake is so much more than a silly movie from the 60’s.

A clambake is actually an old tradition that goes back to the early settlers of New England and their interactions with Native Americans. The Native Americans taught our early settlers this special was of cooking fresh lobster and clams. The traditional clambake requires digging a hole and covering the bottom of it with large stones. On top of that stones, you build a large, very hot fire. Once the fire has burned for several hours and your stones are extremely hot, you are ready to add the food.

Typical clambake menus consist of fresh, live lobsters, fresh clams and other seafood, baked potatoes, onions, corn on the cob, and lots of lemon and butter. The food is arranged in individual servings, wrapped and tied up in cheesecloth. If you have wire baskets, they are very helpful for holding it all together, and they can be put right into the hole, as they can handle the heat.

Remove the coals and ashes from the rocks before adding your food. Typically the rocks are covered with sea weed, the food, and then more sea weed. If you can cover the whole thing with a tarp, it will help to keep the heat in so that everything can get fully cooked. It usually takes about 2 hours to get done.

An alternative method is to set a 16 quart lobster stock pot directly on rocks. Arrange it so that the tub is elevated, and there is room for a fire underneath. Fill it with a few inches of salt water. Once the water is boiling, fresh live lobsters are added. From here, you simply keep adding the food with layers of sea weed in between.

The lobster is ready to eat when it turns bright red, and the clams will open up when ready for dining. A great, easy way to put your clambake together is with a Deluxe Lobster Clambake from Quality Fresh Seafood. The Lobster, Little Neck Clams, mussels, large cooked shrimp and your choice of freshly made lobster bisque or clam chowder is included.

Simply add fresh veggies, lemon and butter, and you are ready for a great party or family gathering. Whether you have your New England Style Clambake at the beach or in the backyard, this is a feast that will be talked about for years.

This manner of keeping the lobster alive ensures a healthy and strong lobster and also ensures that abundant supplies of lobster are available during off-season.

You can get live lobsters in many sizes to suit any meal you have in mind. From a 1/4-lb. lobster for a romantic meal for two to a whopping 10-lb giant lobster for a family gathering.

A live lobster is can be used in casseroles, soups, salads, or steamed. There is not much more elegant than the simple steamed lobster and it is so easy to make. Simply heat a large pot of water to a rolling boil, plunge your live lobster in headfirst and let cook about 18 minutes if your lobster is 1-lb. or less, and about 25 minutes if your lobster is 2-lbs. Add 5 minutes boiling time per 2-lbs of lobster.

If you’re cooking more than one lobster, be sure to let the water return to a rolling boil before putting your next lobster in. Once cooked, remove and cool a bit and serve up with some melted butter for dipping those succulent pieces of lobster meat and enjoy!

I think one of the best corporate seafood gifts has to be the New England Lobster Clambake. Available in a variety of sizes and combinations, this is a gift that offers a corporate party as well as an opportunity for a seafood feast. It is a unique gift that is sure to get you recognized.

Other good options for corporate seafood gifts include the Fresh Seafood Sampler which pairs up a mixture of the five most popular fresh fish items in one great gift package. Haddock, Sole, Salmon, Swordfish and Tuna Steaks all in one combination offer a gift with choices for everyone’s taste.
