Mediterranean Coquina Clams are supremely flavorful small clams. They make a great appetizer, poached in a reduction of white wine, lemon, garlic and a pinch of salt. Also makes a delicious broth.
The term “clam” most often refers to the Mercenaria genus of edible saltwater hard shell clams. Clams have a taste all their own, slightly salty, slightly sweet and a just little fishy; they have a delicate but chewy texture. Clams can be eaten raw, steamed, boiled, baked or fried. They can also be made into chowder, cakes/fritters and are popular in seafood soups and stews, pastas and even in ceviche. Clams are a good source of protein, iron, zinc and selenium.
