When is the Clam Bake pack a good fit?
It's made for beach weekends, backyard cookouts, family reunions and camp trips, and it's a great gift for a family that loves to cook together outdoors.
How do I host a clam bake?
Steam everything together in a large covered pot with potatoes, corn and a splash of wine or broth until the shells open, then spread it out on a table covered with paper. Serve with melted butter, lemon and plenty of napkins. Discard any shells that stay closed.
Is this a good corporate or client gift?
Yes. A fresh seafood gift is memorable, easy to share and a welcome change from the usual basket or bottle. It works well for client thank-yous, employee appreciation, closing gifts and holiday gifts for the whole team. Planning gifts for a group? Contact us before you order.
Is this a good family or holiday gift?
It's a gift the whole family can enjoy together. Send one to parents, in-laws or a new home and the centerpiece of the holiday meal is covered. It's also a thoughtful thank-you for a host, and a way to celebrate an anniversary, a birthday or good news.
Can I send it as a gift?
Yes. Enter the recipient's address at checkout and make sure someone can receive it on delivery day, because it contains perishable seafood.
How do I use it to host a party?
Plan the meal around the pack. Serve the chilled, ready-to-eat items first as appetizers, then move on to the items you cook. Prep sauces, sides and drinks ahead so you can enjoy your guests, and cook the most delicate items within a day or two of delivery.
Is it a good gift for sportsmen and outdoorsmen?
Yes. Anglers, hunters and anyone who loves the outdoors know what truly fresh seafood tastes like, and they tend to appreciate it more than most. It's a natural gift for a fishing buddy, a guide, a hunting-camp host or the dad who has everything, and it's perfect for game-day gatherings and cookouts.
Is it a good gift for chefs and foodies?
Absolutely. Serious cooks love ingredients they can't pick up at a local store. Market-fresh seafood from Seattle's Pike Place Market is a pleasure to cook with, and a pack gives home chefs and food lovers the fun of building their own menu. Our Recipes page has ideas for every occasion.
How should I store everything?
Refrigerate fresh and cooked items as soon as they arrive and enjoy them within a couple of days. Freeze anything you won't use right away. For live shellfish, see our Care & Prep guide.
