Cleveland’s Original Clambakes & Clam Bake Catering
Chef Comella began building the family business in 1944 by selling clambakes, allowing Clevelanders to enjoy great seafood with family and friends throughout the fall season. Our clams arrive from the East Coast, full of meat and a sweet taste of the sea. Chef Comella’s Original Clambake includes one dozen wild middleneck clams, Ohio sweet corn, a fresh local half chicken, Louisiana sweet potatoes, locally made coleslaw, rolls, butter, and all paper products. Our complete clam bake recipe and cooking instructions make every bake easy and memorable.
Chef Comella’s clambakes are available as original clam bakes, specialty clam bakes, and combination clam bakes. Combinations include Live Lobster, King Crab, Lobster Tails as well as our restaurant quality Sirloin and Strip bakes.
