Wikipedia
Clambake
The clambake or clam bake, also known as the New England clambake, is a traditional method of cooking seafood, such as lobster, mussels, crabs, scallops, soft-shell clams, and quahogs. The food is traditionally cooked by steaming the ingredients over layers of seaweed in a pit oven. The shellfish can be supplemented with vegetables, such as onions, carrots, and corn on the cob. Clambakes are usually held on festive occasions along the coast of New England, and at fundraisers and political events. Some restaurants and caterers offer clambake-style food.

clambake
A clambake is a traditional method of cooking seafood, especially shellfish such as clams and lobsters, by baking them in a pit dug on a beach and filled with hot stones. The food is covered with seaweed and soil, which allows it to steam. Nowadays, the term "clambake" is also used more generally to refer to any social gathering where seafood is the main dish.
Webster Dictionary
