3 Clam Bake Recipes to Try

Nothing says summer quite like a clam bake. Whether you’re firing up the grill, cooking indoors, or looking for a twist on tradition, these recipes bring the ocean to your table in delicious ways. I’ve rounded up three of my favorites, each one unique and worth trying.

1. Classic New England Clam Bake on the Grill

• Blog: Barbecue Bible

• What you’ll find: A charming, traditional-style clam bake recipe featuring lobster, clams, cod loin, potatoes, onions, chorizo, and fresh herbs. Cooked in a copper pot on the grill, it's elevated with aromatic herbs and a clever doneness trick—placing a potato on top, and when it’s done, so is the bake.

  
  

2. Indoor Clam Bake for Any Weather

• Blog: DadCooksDinner.com

• What you’ll find: A stovetop “indoor clambake” layered with kielbasa, potatoes, clams, mussels, corn, and even chicken, then lightly steamed with white wine. The result? A brothy, comforting one-pot feast that doubles as a soup for dunking crusty bread.

3. Unique Flavored Clam Bake:

• Blog: Edible Boston

• What you’ll find: A grilled summer clam bake infused with herbed garlic butter, presented in a rustic foil roasting pan lined with seaweed for an umami boost. It’s the smoky, savory twist you didn’t know your clam bake needed.

Serve any of these clam bakes with crusty bread, melted butter, and a chilled white wine (or local craft beer) to complete the feast.
