We are going to my sister-in-law's house for a clam bake! Never been to one before! Not many clams in Florida! I am so excited - these people know how to throw a feast!
I haven't has a non-fried clam since I was very young in Massachusetts, if ever? I hope they aren't snot-like, as oysters are.
I overheard my husband telling my brother-in-law about putting them in a bucket with salt and corn meal. Supposedly it makes these sad little clams spit out any dirt. That alone (picturing the little faces on the clams spitting out dirt) makes me want to say "no, thank you"!!!
