Recipes

Clams require little preparation: they must be live when cooked. Check that the shells are still undamaged and tightly shut (or close tightly when tapped) just before cooking commences. A quick rinse under cold running water to remove any grit is also required. Many clams are best cooked simply in a small amount of flavoured liquid such as sherry, cider or stock to steam them open. Amandes clams work well in Clam chowder and palourdes or surf clams are used in Spaghetti alla vongole because they steam open quickly.
