Suggested Activities: Clambake

Clambake

Clambakes are a traditional Wampanoag way of steaming corn and shellfish together in a big pit layered and covered with seaweed.

Gather the ingredients you will need for your clambake. Go to the seashore to get the clams, lobsters, and rockweed. Go to the clearing to get corn.

Put a hot layer of rocks in the bottom of your pit. Cover the rocks with wet rockweed to make steam. Then, put in your ingredients in layers, and cover it all with rockweed. Steam till done.
