lobster bake

Seaside crustacean feast

A lobster bake is a traditional New England method of cooking seafood—especially lobsters, clams, and corn—by steaming them over hot rocks in a pit lined with seaweed.

The term also refers to the communal outdoor gathering where this meal is served, typically on a beach: We're hosting a lobster bake for the reunion.
