Enjoy Fresh, Never Frozen Seafood – Shipped Overnight! LEARN MORE
Life is too short for bland. When you need something with a little more character, look no further than steamers. About two inches in diameter, these soft-shelled steamer clams are quite flavorful and to us, a hallmark of summer. They’re sourced along the Atlantic coast—from Maine down to Long Island. The best way to prepare them? They’re called steamers for a reason. Simmer these tender, sweet and slightly meaty morsels in garlic, olive oil, and wine, roll up your sleeves, and eat them straight from the shell.
Steamers are perfect in white wine, clam juice and garlic. Use the resulting broth and warm melted butter as sauces.
Portion Size
Our Steamers are packed approximately 15-20 in a pound. When cooking clams we recommend 6 pieces for an appetizer or 12 pieces as a main course. The size of this order is 2 lbs (approx. 12-16 steamers per lb), which serves 2-5 people.
"Pick something crisp and unoaked, perhaps an alpine Pinot Grigio from Trentino."
