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

Dig em and rinse em and then grab some more saltwater to let them soak overnight. you'll be amazed at how much they clean themselves.......Side nOte...Do not leave the bucket next to anything you don't want saltwater on. The clams will spit all night long and cover anything within 3 feet of the bucket. Don't leave em outside either. Birds will eat them.

^ now you are talking about "spitting clams"

actually they always just coat one of my cupboards. I used to just leave them on the deck but now prefer the shaded garage. no cars hit but close

being a seafood junk and I'm chinese... have you guys tried any Chinese cooking style of clams?

the popular one is stir fried with black bean sauce (with chili pepper, onions and bell pepper)

the also have one cooked with chinese rice wine (kind of like Sake)

I liked just steamed them in garlic and lemon grass.
