Steamed Clams On The Half Shell
I couldn't find good fresh littleneck clams so the fish monger told me about these northern chef clams. They are great! Farm raised clams on the half-shell pre-cooked-quick frozen. They are all cleaned and purged to eliminate any sand. And processed over strict specifications. A tai foong usa inc product. And so very cheap! There's 24 clams in a package for $2.00. They are frozen so this can be kept in the freezer and whipped up for unexpected company! Servings are 2-6 depending on if you're making an appetizer or a meal.
