The New England Lobster Clambake is a tradition older than America itself. According to historical lore, the pilgrims first learned about the lobster from Native Americans. The pilgrims watched Native Americans gather lobster, clams, mussels and fish and prepare them on the beach.

The Fathers Day lobster dinner clambake features live lobster, Ipswich steamer clams, mussels and Cape Cod clam chowder along with an optional enamel steel cooking pot. Jumbo five and six pound lobsters are a treat for Dads who really love their lobster. The 1.5 pound lobster is a favorite for cooking on the grill. Available fresh lobster tails make any party better. Recipes and information on how to steam lobster are free.

All live lobsters are shipped for overnight delivery. The lobster and seafood are carefully placed in special insulated cartons. Individual compartments protect the live lobster from harming one another during their flight. The cooler is packed with gel ice packs and wet seaweed. And best of all, an order placed online by 2:30 p.m. EST can be part of a feast anywhere in the USA the very next day. Saturday delivery is available in most areas.

Grilled lobster also complements nicely any other seafood on the grill as well as meats and grilled vegetables. Grilling whole lobster is fast and easy and will be a crowd pleaser. So let’s get started.

First, you must start with fresh Maine lobster from your fish market or favorite lobster delivery service. Be sure to ask for hard-shell lobster as opposed to soft shell, or “new shell” lobster. Soft-shell lobster meat is often to stringy to hold together on the grill and won’t taste nearly as good. Hard-shell lobster is best.
