Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Seafood

    Rinse the oysters, top neck clams, and shrimp under cold water. Place oysters in a bowl of ice. If using live lobsters, place them in a pot of boiling water for 8-10 minutes until they turn bright red, then remove and chill in ice water.

Serving

    Assemble the Platter

    On a large serving platter, arrange the oysters on one side, the top neck clams on another, and the shrimp in the center. Cut the lobsters in half and position them on the platter. Garnish with lemon wedges and serve with cocktail sauce, hot sauce, and mignonette sauce on the side.
