Recipe Instructions:

1. In a large roasting pan or steamer, create a base by placing a one-inch layer of seaweed, or if unavailable, use crumpled aluminum foil or a rack.

2. Parboil the onions and potatoes to soften them slightly.

3. Prepare the corn by shucking it, leaving the innermost leaves intact to protect the kernels.

4. Arrange the lobsters on the seaweed or aluminum foil in the pan, ensuring they are evenly spaced. Nestle the corn and onions between the lobsters and the sides of the pan.

5. Gently add the clams, mussels, and potatoes over the lobsters, distributing them evenly throughout the pan.

6. Maintain a level surface on the top of the pan’s contents.

7. Cover the entire contents of the pan with the remaining seaweed, or if using aluminum foil, tightly seal it over the top. Pour water (salted if seaweed is not used) over the contents of the pan.

8. If cooking on a grill, ensure the coals are very hot before placing the pan on the grill. Alternatively, place the pan on the stove.

9. Once steam becomes visible, cook covered for approximately 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

10. After the cooking time, remove the pan from the heat source, but leave it covered for an additional 5 minutes to ensure everything is fully cooked through.

11. Serve your Downeast Lobster Bake hot, accompanied by lemon wedges, melted butter or margarine, or your favorite lobster condiments.
