Mail Order Clambakes

For many New Englanders, holding a clam bakes is an annual tradition--and for enthusiastic seafood lovers, there's cause for a clambake most months of the year! This is one tradition that is most often missed by many people who have moved away from the region, and spend their time dreaming of socializing and enjoying the food at clambakes. While quality seafood is available across the country, it is not the same as having seafood that was caught locally; and there's something special about the nature of the clambake itself that makes it irreplaceable..
