Cleveland Clambakes Are a Can't-Miss Fall Tradition
"Visiting the century-old West Side Market made clear why Cleveland became the nation’s fall clambake capital: the historic building’s iron rafters echo with vendors and shoppers as it serves as the epicenter for clams and other seafood that arrive by rail and small boats, turning a once-practical cold‑chain advantage into a seasonal ritual. The market’s role in scaling supply—from local vendors like Kate’s Fish to home cooks renting steamers—helps sustain a citywide tradition that feels both maritime and Midwestern." - Wendy Pramik
