Instructions
- In a ginormous pot, bring the water, wine, Old Bay, salt, and garlic to a boil.
- Toss the onion and potatoes in the pot, cover, and cook over medium-high heat for 15 minutes.
- Nestle the lobsters on the onion and potatoes, cover the pot again, and cook for 3 minutes.
- Add the clams and corn and continue to cook, still covered, until the clams have opened, 8 to 10 minutes.☞ TESTER TIP: If you happen to be doing your clambake in a pot that's set on a rack over an open gril, go ahead and instead toss the corn and the cut lemon directly on the rack to impart a slight smokiness to the final dish.
- Carefully remove the pot from the heat and drain the cooking liquid. Remove and discard any clams that haven't opened.
- Tip the contents of the pot onto a table lined with newspaper or butcher paper or transfer to a large platter. (If your guests can't be trusted to be amicable about splitting the lobsters, you may wish to cut each one in half prior to serving.)
- Sprinkle everything with the herbs and set out small bowls of melted butter along with some crusty bread and lemon wedges and dishes or small buckets so folks have a place to toss the spent shells. Don't forget gobs of napkins.
