shore dinner

Seaside seafood meal

A shore dinner is a traditional New England meal featuring freshly caught seafood, typically including lobster, clams, corn on the cob, and potatoes, often served at coastal restaurants or clambakes: We stopped at a roadside place for a shore dinner after the ferry.

The term evokes casual seaside dining rather than formal cuisine.
