It’s time to take advantage of the wonderful cuisine the waters of the Long Island Sound has to offer and nothing says summer like sucking down clams and oysters. Sure, maybe you prefer lobster but let’s face it you’re going have to shell out the big bucks for that!

Can’t stand dealing with the hassle of shucking clams and oysters? We know your pain. So why not let the grill take care of the hard part for you? All you need to do is scrub the fresh oysters and rinse the clams and toss them on the grates.

Cook over medium-high heat for 6-7 minutes or until they begin to open up. In the meantime, melt down a stick of butter and mix it with lemon juice, a little salt and a dash of pepper. Throw in a bit of minced garlic and sprinkle the concoction over the clams and oysters for a appetizer your friends and family members will surely love!

This is the perfect way to kick off any summer party – whether you’re hosting a crowd in your backyard or heading over to the neighbor’s house for the night. We can just about guarantee everyone will be reaching in for seconds!
