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.
