You might not be able to spend every summer day at the beach (unless you have a much better vacation package than we do), but there should be nothing stopping any of us from eating as if we were. So here are 22 of our favorite shellfish meals from the past couple of years, from lobster rolls to grilled clams. Got a deck or a backyard? Roll out some newspaper, dump those clams or peel-and-eat shrimp or whatever your pleasure on top, add an icy pitcher of beer, and you're golden.

Actually, maybe this is better than the beach...?
