It's what's inside that counts
The savory flesh inside the hard shells keeps seafood lovers wanting more when it comes to clams. These mollusks burrow into the bed of the ocean floor or freshwater environment that they inhabit. Clams have two shells of equal size that are attached by a hinge-joint and ligament that open and close. There are several different varieties from the small littleneck to giant clams. Clams are consumed raw, steamed, boiled, fried, baked, stewed and grilled. The cooking method usually depends on the size of the clams. Clams are in season between May and September on the U.S. East Coast. That’s when oysters are out of season. Select fresh clams that are plump, smell fresh, and seem robust for their size. Avoid clams that smell like ammonia. Look for an aroma to match the strong and sweet flavor of the sea. Some people consider clams to be a delicacy. Clams are sold fresh and in the shell, shelled and canned or frozen. What is your favorite clam dish?
