New England Clambakes came to be in the early history of America.  Native Americans started cooking their seafood in pits dug into the sandy beaches along the New England Coastline.  They would use hot rocks to surround the clambake and to evenly cook it.

Essentially this was a practical alternative for an oven, or a stovetop.  It really was a great way to cook a clambake and is still practiced today by inhabitants of the New England coastline.  No longer is this something only enjoyed by Native American Indians but by all the people living in this area.
