lobster boil
Seaside shellfish feast
A lobster boil is a communal meal where lobsters are cooked in a large pot of boiling seasoned water, typically outdoors, often alongside corn, potatoes, and other shellfish.
The tradition is associated with coastal New England, especially summer gatherings: We're having a lobster boil at the beach house this weekend.
