1. Line a large galvanized washtub with beach stones,
then pour about 2 quarts
of salted water into tub.

2. Add a layer of seaweed.

3. Then add chicken and
potato pieces.

 














4. Then add another layer of
seaweed, then clams.

5. Repeat this process, layering
seaweed between the corn.

6. Add another layer of seaweed
between mussels, and lobsters,
finishing with a layer of seaweed.

7. Place the whole potato in the
center, then mound a final, thick
seaweed layer over it.

8. Put the washtub on a grate
over a beach fire or on a hot
barbecue grill. Cook for 45
minutes to 1 hour. When the
potato on top is soft, the lobster
bake is done.













 

9. Remove ingredients,
discarding whole potato
and seaweed, and serve
separately. Strain the
aromatic pink broth left
over in the tub through a
sieve and serve in
individual mugs, if you like.
