Up here on the Northeast coast, clams are a regular menu item and the best way to eat them is RAW. There's nothing like going to the local fish market after a long day at the beach and eating half a dozen (no, make that a full dozen) littlenecks on the halfshell. You can buy them in supermarkets now and the only catch is you have to open them yourselves. It takes a little practice and skill, but one thing's for sure - you need the right tool. Our clam knife is made in Massachusetts by a company that has been supplying clammers for decades. It looks just like a paring knife but the little details make all the difference. If you are going to open clams, give your hands a break and buy this knife.
