I have lobsters on my mind today. This weekend I am heading home to the seafood-rich Boston area for a quick, last-minute trip. Couple that with the fact that summer is just around the corner and all I can think about is how fun a Lobster Bake would be right about now!
Lobster Bakes are best, of course, at a beach house. So if you are heading to Nantucket or Maine or (more locally) Rehoboth this summer, be sure to add a Lobster Bake to your social calendar. These al fresco parties are perfect for casual, summertime entertaining.

These plates would be great for a salad to start, but larger, more platter-style plates should be used when serving the lobsters.

Don’t forget the lobster crackers.

Another beautiful post!
I love the casualness of a Lobster bake or any opportunity to get down and dirty with seafood. We have a seafood boil every summer where we boil up our favorite seafood crustaceans along with corn, potatoes, artichokes, and sausage, and toss it on a long table covered in paper. It’s become a favorite summer event as nothing brings people together like eating with your fingers… Thanks Teresa, travel safe!
Love those claw crackers! Thanks so much for suggesting one of our invitations– this looks like a great party!
