Live Fresh Clams

Overview

Harvested and shipped the same day, these short-necked bivalves arrive at your door still alive. A professional purging process clears every trace of grit, so they go straight from the bag into the pan.

Ways to Enjoy

Garlic stir-fry — flash-fry minced garlic and chilli, add the shellfish and toss until every shell opens, then finish with oyster sauce.
Spicy toss — bloom dried chilli and Sichuan peppercorn in oil, then stir-fry with a spoonful of bean paste.
Wine steam — arrange on a plate, drizzle with cooking wine and ginger, and steam for 3 minutes.
Tofu soup — bring water and ginger to the boil, add the shellfish, then drop in soft tofu and scatter with scallion.

Storage

Refrigerate at 0-4°C as soon as they arrive. Best enjoyed the same day, and no longer than 48 hours. To keep them longer, blanch briefly, shuck the meat and freeze at -18°C for up to 30 days.
