New England By Way of Philadelphia?
If you’re a fan of clambakes, you’ll be happy to hear that New England-style clambakes and other seafood-centered dinners are popping up in Philly. Clambakes are chock-full of delicious steamed lobsters, clams, shrimp, and sometimes other seafood like crabs, mussels and oysters. Sausage, corn and potatoes often accompany an official clambake meal. The sides for a seafood boil are often the same, but can vary. Here are three upcoming seafood-loving events in Philadelphia you won’t want to miss!
Brick & Mortar Clambake
Thursday August 27
The Olde Bar Clambake Brunch
Sunday August 30
