Best restaurant in Seattle/Bellevue for steamed clams?
Anyone else just love steamed clams? Who does the absolute best? You know the type with the absolutely killer sauce/broth that you just *have* to mop up with every piece of bread you can lay your hands on...

How about McCormick's Fish House on 4th Ave.? I'm not sure if they have that sauce though. If you find out who does actually have THE best...let us know! I'm a steamed clam lover from wayyyyy back!

I think I had clams at Lark, anything there is amazingly good (especially the seared foie gras).

Used to be the Red Door Ale House before they moved. I was 86'd from there many moons ago so I don't know if they still kick ass or not. The best was the clams and a pint (or two) of Fuller's ESB. yummy!

Chinooks (sp?) out in Seattle. FANTASTIC, but one hell of a drive for you.

Ditto - Except the right of the beach part. Hooked it up last night.

Bacon / Parsnip Steamers with cream.
I finally nailed the recipe.

Ksenia and I enjoy clams a great deal, and since both Bella and her little sister Sophia love clams (Totally Weird, I know)
We do the steamers often, we have several recipes, I like this creamy one with Bacon the best.

Crappy iPhone pictures do not do this dish justice.

The trick is to do 2-3 saltwater cleansing soaks to get the sand and grit out.

Cheers,

Brian overnight in the saltwater is all they need. They can't clean out very well in just a few hours.

We'll have to have a Steam off Hopefully your whole family likes em

I love steamers, especially when a few places have all-u-can eat going on. I'll pig out lol, just good clean steamers and brother/butter sauce and lemon are all I need.

I'm in!

When I cooked at Daniels Broiler I had my own recipe that I put on the fresh-sheet about once a week, only hint is that it kind of tasted like a very light Bearnaise Sauce, creamy and elegant. The Seattle Weekly pinged it as the best steamers in Seattle in '91.

I also like the heartiness of a nice ale based steam too. Black and tan with mussels and clams...yum!

Hey Guys,

new to the board but i had to reply cuz i probably enjoy eating more than cars

so... chinooks? i've had the marinara dish with clams, mussels, etc. but haven't had a plate of just steamers. how is it prepared? i'll have to try that next time i'm there.

so when you salt water soak clams to remove the sand and 'gunk' do you just soak them in the water they came in overnight? i've had a few clam linguini's ruined by sand
