For dinner with friends or when you just want to spoil yourself a bit, clams make the perfect appetizer or supper dish. At the market you will find different sizes from small littlenecks, medium topnecks and cherrystones, to large quahogs (a.k.a. chowder clams). The size you choose to serve is your choice; however, smaller clams typically cost a little more because they are considered fancier than the larger quahogs. Clams have a briny and assertive flavor. Spicy ingredients such as chiles, hot sauce, cilantro, horseradish or ginger can be used to make a tasty broth or sauce. Here is a favorite recipe for you to try.
Recipe: Clams with Spicy Fennel Broth
Tip: As clams age out of the water, their shells change from gray to chalky white. Clams that are pure white are not as fresh. Store tightly wrapped in a mesh bag in the coldest part of your refrigerator.
