“We ordered “The Clamshell” with the clams and mussels mix and followed the instructions as printed. Everything was absolutely perfectly prepared and over the top delicious. We used the entire seasoning cup provided and steamed it in Sam Adams Cherry Wheat Ale and it came out great. The potatoes sopped up the broth and it was yummy. We didn’t need the supplied cocktail sauce or butter. Everything was so flavorful. We highly recommend!!“
