This is a really great way to cook indoors and enjoy the same taste as if you were outside....really great a days that you cannot go outside
Prep:40m Cook:15m Servings:4

Ingredients
4 pounds Mussels
4 each 1¼ pound lobsters
12 small red potatoes
4 ears sweet corn, shucked except for innermost leaves
4-8 small boiling onions
2 cups water
1 cup butter (2 sticks)
2 each lemons, cut into wedges
5 pounds Rockweed (seaweed) If unavailable, add 2 Tablespoons salt to water and a rack to lift lobster off the bottom of the pan

Directions
Rinse mussels in cold water. Pull black threads out of mussels at the hinge of the shells. Parboil onions and potatoes. In a large (12" x 16") roasting pan, place a one inch layer of seaweed. Place lobsters on top of the seaweed and arrange corn and onions between the lobsters and the sides of the pan. Place more seaweed over lobster and gently add mussels and potatoes being careful to keep the top of the Bake level. Cover with remaining seaweed and add water to the pan. Cover tightly with lid or foil and place on the stove or a preheated grill to cook. (If using a grill make sure the coals are very hot.) Start timing the Bake when you first see steam. Cook covered for 15 minutes. Serve with melted butter and lemon wedges on the side.
