Lobster & Clambakes

Native Americans introduced clambakes as we know them today to the pilgrims and settlers of the United States. After observing these bountiful seaside feasts, our forefathers adopted the techniques in the late seventeen hundreds. Clambakes today are a fun, festive, delicious tradition that is sure to impress your guests at your next catered event.

Our New England Clambakes start with a focus on only the freshest local shellfish and produce. Our lobsters, mussels, littleneck clams, produce, and all accompaniments are sourced directly from the island of Martha’s Vineyard. Lobsters, clams, & mussels are typically harvested THE DAY of your event, from Menemsha and Edgartown fisherman and wholesalers.

Premier Chef Services Inc. caters traditional pit-dug clambakes with hot rocks, seaweed covered on an approved beach, as well as in-home clambakes right in your rental or residence kitchen. Regardless of location, our team of hospitality and catering professionals will ensure your clambake is delicious and unforgettable.
