The worst clams ever. So sandy we could not eat them. Maybe a good recipe, we’ll never know. Never buying clams there again.
Unfortunately, steamer clams harvested in sand will contain some sand. The best thing to do before preparing them is to purge them. Check out this link. It will help! Maine Steamer Clams: Ugly yet Delicious!
