Baked Stuffed Clams

Markets classify hard clams by size. The smallest, under 2 inches, is called the littleneck, after Little Neck Bay on Long Island, where they were once plentiful. Cherrystones are 2 to 3 inches and are named after Cherrystone Creek in Virginia. Topnecks are 3 to 3 1/2 inches. Any quahog larger than 3 1/2 inches is called a chowder clam. Mariner's Menu shares a recipe for Baked Stuffed Clams.

French-Fried Shrimp

Seafood is done when it is golden brown. Remove from the oil immediately and drain the fish or shellfish on paper towels. Be careful not to overcook or the food will dry out. A minute can make a difference. It's like that steak on the grill — give it just a few more seconds and it's overdone. Mariner's Menu shares a recipe for French-Fried Shrimp.

Broiled Oysters with Fine Herbs

You'll notice that our recipes tell you to use rock salt in the pan when cooking oysters in their shells. A deep layer allows you to level the oysters in the salt, making them steady and also keeping the contents from spilling out of the uneven shells.
