Enjoy them steamed, broiled, baked or grilled. Topnecks and chowder clams are less tender, so it\u2019s best to chop them for soups, fritters and stuffed clams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Be mindful of cooking times. Clams should be tender, not tough. And avoid adding too much salt. Clams typically have their own briney taste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you enjoy steamed clams and oysters, you may wish to buy a shellfish steamer, which is a large, two-section pot, much like a double boiler. Inexpensive enamel versions are available at general merchandise and most hardware stores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
