Philips Seafood’s Cook, Crack and Eat Clam Bake Class is held monthly in the Baltimore harbor and it’s a first-class session adorned with fine wines, delectable appetizers, and, ofcourse, the most scrumptious clam bake in the area.
It’s hard not to get engulfed with a breadth of knowledge on quality seafood, imported foods and on addictive appetizers from this class since it’s taught by a veteran chef who has worked for Philips since 1998 and who masterfully knows how to handle his “lively” ingredients.
In between being served soft but tart Crab Dip, robust Salt & Pepper Calamaris, and rich Crab Stuffed Mushroom Cap appetizers; everyone was served fine red and white wines that paired well with certain seafood items. For an hour-long cooking class, students learned:
Philips Seafood Clam Bake Tidbits
-
When you cook lobster, make sure it’s lively.
-
Best snow crabs come from New Finland.
-
When you purchase shellfish, make sure all scales are intact and it doesn’t smell fishy.
-
When you make your clam bake, try to add white corn, lemon, parsley and red potatoes.
-
White wine always compliments seafood dishes. So make sure you have plenty of it for your own clambake.
Baltimoreans also had a great opportunity to network with fellow seafood addicts in a refreshing atmosphere free of boisterous noise, loud music and of tight space–to socialize freely, ofcourse.Though the clam bake is made for two, there’s truly enough for four.
