Clam Bake

This is a New England clam bake; a traditional way of cooking seafood. The food photographed here is  is lobster, steamers, sausage, potatoes and corn.  The first step to cooking this meal is creating a fire  and having it burn on top of rocks until they become scolding hot. After that the ashes are removed and fresh seaweed is placed on top. Following that the potatoes, corn, sausage, steamers and lobster are placed and ready to be cooked. There is a large canvas top spread over top of the food to keep the steam in and cook the food. Once finished everything is removed and ready to be eaten.
