Baby Steamers
"These are tasty enough, but I would not order them again. I didn’t use them as Steamers, and instead used them for cooking a Pasta dish. A lot of work for an OK flavor. Like another reviewer, I also had clam mortality upon delivery."

"These arrived today and I opened up three right away to taste raw. Very mild clam flavor but I really liked them with a little lemon and Hot sauce. Then I steamed some up in butter, shallots, garlic, Little, Salt and Pepper, with white wine and a squeeze of lemon. They may be my new favorite clam. Don't forget to scrape of the scallops as they were big and tasty. May not be for you if you like a strong clam flavor but there was something about the texture and flavor that I really enjoyed. I will cook them up for the family with homemade linguini tomorrow night."
"Excellent! Prepared in a white wine sauce over linguine. Size for this linguine dish was fine. Arrived in good condition. Very clean. Only one clam discarded. Will purchase again."
"Excellent!"
"Steamed dozen, great with lemon and drawn butter. Used rest in linguine with homemade garlic, fresh herbs, butter, oil, lemon zest, sauce….terrific!!"
"Since I am always interested in trying new things, I decided to support this new clam endeavor with a purchase of 100. My take: unless you like a milder-tasting clam, these won't be your thing. I didn't like them raw on half shell (too mild) but they were OK cooked. They are very small and easy to shuck but I think they are best suited to a quick saute in the shell. They sort of reminded me of a steamer clam but smaller. Flavor proffile: on the sweeter side. Probably won't buy them again."
"they gaped open pretty quick, but weren't 'bad' - we steamed them open lightly and they tasted real good, about as 'clam' as you can get before they get big and tougher. We'd recommend."
"These are a real gem. Great flavor similar to littlenecks but a tad more robust. Loved them!"
"Smaller than little necks but tender and sweet. Delicious!"
"Cooked in wine and put them on linguine with garlic, oil, herbs. Steamed the rest in beer to make some of the best NE chowder I’ve ever tasted. They were a little on the small side, though"
