Littleneck Clams

If you like your clams raw, then look no further. Crisp and plump with a sweet and briny taste, Diggers Choice® hardshell clams are a delight served raw on the halfshell.

Hardshell clams, or "cherrystones," also can be grilled, baked or added to a stir fry. If you're from Maryland, you probably prefer them steamed and dipped in cocktail sauce. However you prepare them, our hardshell clams always come out soft and juicy.

    • 3 C. Chopped Yellow Oniones (approx. 2 Large)
    • 2 C. Chopped Leeks, well cleaned (approx. 2, use white part only)
    • 1/4 C. Olive Oil (the better the oil, the better the clambake!)

    • 1 Tsp. Kosher Salt
    • 1/2 Tbsp. Freshly Ground Black Pepper
    • 2 Dozen Littleneck Clams (scrub well)

  • 7. With a large slotted spoon, remove the remainder of the seafood, potatoes and kielbasa and place in a large bowl, top with lobsters.

  • Grilled Clams

    Gilchrists Grilled Clams or Oysters

    • 1/2 lb bulk sausage (hot or sweet)
    • 1/2 cup chopped onion
    • 1/2 cup chopped green pepper
    • 1/2 cup chopped red pepper
    • 2 cups bread crumbs
    • 1/2 stick unsalted butter
    • 4 tbsp Sambuca (or similar liquorice source
    • 48 fresh littleneck clams (or 24 oysters) of similar size
    1. Fry sausage until it just crumbles and set aside.
    2. Melt butter in frying pan, add onions and peppers and saute 3 minutes. Add Worcestershire sauce, bread crumbs and sambuca and mix well.
    3. Open shellfish and save as much juice as possible. Return each meat to its shell and place level on a GreatGrate. Be sure to leave as much juice as possible in each shell so during the cooking process each meat will poach in its own juices with the seasonings.
    4. Insert a crumble or two of sausage in each shell then top each with the bread crumb mixture.
    5. Place the entire GreatGrate on your grill (or in a heated 425 oven on a sheet pan) and cook 3 to 5 mins or until the juices boil.
    6. Remove entire grate from heat and serve. Lemon wedges, hot sauce and cold beer are good accompaniments.
