I'm planning a clambake for the end of the term. Has anyone here done one before?
I've done frogmore stew several times before. It's really good for large crowds, I'd skip out on potatoes if the recipe you plan on using calls for them. The corn is normally enough for a non-seafood side.

Thanks. We're planning to do a boil instead if we can't get a fishmonger to spare enough seaweed for us.

mark bittman has a good guide. Don't boil it no matter what. Ruin good seafood.

You could just soak dried nori or something.

I don't think that would work very well.

Why not? You just need some sort of neutral veggie matter that can absorb water. Or something to steam it with . Boiling is too aggressive for delicate seafood. You really want to barely cook some of it.
