Clambakes have been around for a while now, in fact, they were introduced by Native Americans a hundred years ago. They are more known as New England Clambakes as they originated in the New England area. As Christmas is fast approaching, clambakes would make a great idea for a Christmas party gathering, don’t you think?

The original clambakes were done in a pit and this pit was dug and a layer of stones were placed on the bottom of the pit. Then a layer of clams, potatoes, live lobster, and corn husks were laid on top the hot stones with fresh seaweed separating the layers.

In order to cook the fresh seafood and vegetables, the Native Americans would make a large fire in the pit, on top of the stones. After the fire has been reduced to hot ash & embers, they would then put the seafood on the hot stones.

There are actually a lot of places where you can order fresh seafood and shellfish. A clambake may come in two different kinds, the standard and the super deluxe clambake. Both of these kinds have clam chowder, lobster bisque, and some supplies needed for the clambake preparation. With the super deluxe kind, you get more fresh seafood with shrimp and mussels.

For larger gatherings, the super deluxe clambake for Christmas is the more popular option. Since this type of clambake includes more types of seafood, more guests will be able to find something they like to eat. In addition, you’re much less likely to run out of food, even with many people.

Modern cooking methods have replaced the old fashion preparation of the clambake. Now, clambakes are cooked on the stove, or on the grill. If you have a fire pit, you can cook your clambake there. Clambakes are a wonderful way to throw an outdoor party, and are more fun while camping. As an added bonus, outside cooking means minimal clean up.

A clambake meal is also very nutritious and healthy as it not only contains low-calorie seafood but fat-free vegetables as well. This would surely make your guests clamoring for more as it is considered a better alternative to the not-so-healthy foods that party throwers often offer.

So how about having the traditional clambake for Christmas celebrations? It would surely make a great conversation starter – as it is not usually done by party hosts. What’s more, the clambake full of nutrients is far superior and interesting than the typical junk food and take-outs people usually have.
