Fresh Chesapeake Bay Clams

|
Awesome Flavor
Versatile Chesapeake Bay clams are famous in chowder, delicious steamed with olive oil or wine, and excellent cut into strips, breaded and fried. Chopped clams enrich any white sauce when served over pasta. Our quahog clams are freshly harvested from some of the best clam beds along the Eastern Shore.

Fresh Clams
When buying clams, make sure the shells are all tightly closed. If the shells are gaping slightly, tap the clam and it should close. If it doesn't, it's dead and must be thrown away. Clams should be stored in the bottom of your refrigerator, where they will keep for 2 days.

Recipe

|
 |
Fancy Seafood Rice |
| 2 to 3 cups uncooked rice optional: 1 tablespoon Spanish Rice seasoning (may be called paella) live clams, scrubbed clean 1 cup chicken broth ½ cup white wine 1 teaspoon minced garlic ½ red bell pepper, cored, seeded, and finely chopped 1 tablespoon freshly chopped parsley optional: 1 tablespoon unsalted butter salt to taste |
|
|
First start out by cooking the rice according to the manufacturer's instructions. Usually, 1 cup of rice requires 1½ cups of water and cooks for 20 minutes. I recommend preparing 2 cups of rice. If you like Spanish rice seasoning, add it now to the rice before it is cooked.
When the rice has 5 minutes left to cook, prepare the seafood.
Place the scrubbed clams into a medium sauce pot over medium high heat. Add in the chicken broth, white wine, minced garlic, chopped red bell peppers, parsley, and optional butter. Cook everything together with a tightly fitted lid until the clam shells open, or about 2 to 3 minutes. Once they do, turn off the heat. Discard any clams that did not open.
By now the rice should be finished cooking. Transfer the rice into a large bowl along with the clams and all its juices. Toss everything together until it is well combined. Taste and correct with salt. I recommend about ½ teaspooon of salt. Serve immediately.
Yield: 4 servings

About Us
Greg Cain started CrabPlace.com in 1997 in Crisfield, Maryland, America’s seafood capital. As business grew, his brother, Matt, joined the company to head up operations. The two began by selling and shipping fresh Maryland crab caught daily by local watermen. Their unique packing and delivery processes kept crabs at their freshest, and our satisfied customer base grew quickly. As a result, the company received the SBA Maryland Entrepreneurial Success of the Year Award in 2001.
In 2005, Greg and Matt invited Rebecca Gareis Bent into the CrabPlace.com family to be in charge of product development, photography, and marketing. She is a Baltimore native and the author of the cookbooks Burgers (2004), Down at the Shore (2006), and Everyday is Delicious (2007). She has been featured on the Today Show and ESPN, and in Forbes, The Wall Street Journal, and elsewhere. Her crab cake recipe earned CrabPlace.com recognition as “The Best” online crab cakes in 2006 from the Kiplinger’s Personal Finance Magazine’s Annual “Best of the Best” Edition.
Greg, Matt, and Rebecca have been crabbing since they could walk, and still have fun pulling them in and teaching their own kids. They also take great pleasure in serving up CrabPlace.com seafood products to family and friends and sharing their passion for Chesapeake Bay foods and the shore lifestyle. Our many satisfied customers know we pride ourselves on delivering fresh seafood from our dock to your door, and to your table. We are committed to ensuring that our service is as outstanding as our food. Your complete satisfaction is our goal, and we back that up with our CrabPlace.com Guarantee.
Thank you for sharing this wonderful shore food and lifestyle with us!
