Cooking Steamers
Cooking Steamers
Cooking Steamer Clams
Add 2 inches of water and/or beer to pot. Yes, only 2 inches because you want to "steam" the clams, not boil the clams.
Add half an onion, bay leaf, peppercorn or other herbs for flavor.
Bring to boil then add clams. Discard any broken clams before cooking.
Steam clams for 6 - 10 minutes until they all open fully. Do not eat the clams that do not open.
Remove clams and strain broth into individual bowls with 1/2 teaspoon butter to dip the clams in.
When eating, remove from shell and pull the membrane off (it's located around the "neck" aka "foot"). It's like taking a sock off your foot.

Purging Steamers
How and why we purge steamers
Steamer clams, as we all know, come from the beach. When the tide is low the clam diggers will go out to the "flats" and dig steamer clams. Because beaches are sandy, the sand will get in the clam itself. To purge steamers, soak in salt water (1 tablespoon coarse salt for every 2 quarts of fresh water) and add several tablespoons of cornmeal (or vinegar). This will cause the clams to spit out the sand. Purge them for about an hour before cooking. Remember, don't soak clams in fresh water, that will kill them

Steamed Softshell Clam Recipe
Steamed Soft Shell Clams
This is a recipe handed down from my grandmother Helen Simonson. Over the years I have made my own contribution to this as well. When I married a Maryland man, I was introduced to OLD BAY seasoning. This adds a zest to the broth and the clams. I have been cooking clams the way for the past 40 years and as a consequence do not measure ingredients. Play with this until you get the taste you want.
Steamers (as many as you want for an appetizer or main dish) rinsed to remove sand.
Celery 4 large stalks cut into ½ inch pieces (you will need more if you are doing a full pot).
Large Onion cut into ½ inch pieces.
Water
Salt
Old Bay Seasoning
Melted Butter
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
1 teaspoon saffron threads
4 cups chicken stock (or 2 cups chicken stock and 2 cups clam juice)
In the bottom of a clam pot, add enough water to steam your clams. Season with salt and add some of the celery and onion, the sprinkle with Old Bay. If you want a spicy broth be generous with this seasoning, if not sprinkle about one teaspoon into the water.
In the top portion of the pot, add a layer of clams with more celery and onion and sprinkle with Old Bay. Repeat this process until all clams are in the pot. Steam clams in covered pot until all are open and serve immediately with one cup of broth and small glass of butter. (If you do not have a clam pot, any large pot will do with a rack in the bottom to keep the clams slightly above water.) To eat remove sock from the foot of the clam, Rinse clams in broth the dip in butter for a taste treat. The broth is great by itself and can be used as a broth for chowder.

New England Clam Chowder
New England Clam Chowder
1/2 pound ground or finely diced salt pork
1 pound onions
1 gallon clam juice
1 pound potatoes, diced
1 tablespoon paprika
2 cups canned tomato puree
1 1/2 quarts chopped clams
water as needed
salt and pepper to taste
Pilot crackers, crumbled
In a large dutch oven, heat the salt pork until the fat melts.
Add the onions. Cook ocher gentle heat until very soft. Add the
clam juice, potatoes, seasonings, tomato puree and a little water.
Simmer until the potatoes are soft, then add the quahogs. Heat and
taste for seasoning. Add water if needed. It is best to use old,
not new, potatoes, because they thicken the chowder with their
starch. Crush some pilot crackers and stir them into the chowder
to thicken it further, near the end of the cooking. This recipe
makes about 20 8oz servings. Enjoy!

Fried Seafood Recipes
Seafood Sampler Frying Directions
How to fry New England Seafood
Heat oil to 350. Canola oil or lard is best. You may also use vegetable or peanut oil. Do not use olive oil!
Set up your stations. Put included breading mix in a large bowl. Make dipping solution using water and/or milk (evaporated or regular). Add a beaten egg if desired and place in another bowl..
Start with the scrod haddock. Cut to desired size. Submerge in dipping solution, then coat with breading mix using the included breading basket. Immediately fry for 3 - 4 minutes. (Do not let sit in breading mix, it will get hard. Only dip right before you fry)
Repeat the same for the shrimp, cooking for 1-1/2 minutes..
Scallops and clam strips are cooked for 1 minute.
Now fry the clams last for 1 minute. Be sure not to crowd them! Cook only a handful at a time, depending on the size of your ccoking equipment.
Enjoy your New England Seafood Sampler with lemon and tartar sauce.
Fried Soft Shell Clams
FRIED CLAMS
4 cups cracker meal (make your own by crushing unsalted saltine crackers in a heavy plastic bag with a rolling pin or in a food processor)
1 cup unflavored bread crumbs
1/4 cup yellow cornmeal
1 to 2 tsps. Old Bay seasoning
1 cup flour
4 eggs, beaten
Canola oil for deep frying
1 qt. shucked soft-shell clams
Lemon wedges for serving
Tartar sauce for serving
Combine cracker meal, bread crumbs, cornmeal and Old Bay in a large, shallow bowl. In a line on the counter, place a shallow bowl containing the flour, a bowl containing the beaten eggs that is big enough to accommodate a handled wide-mesh strainer and the bowl containing the cracker mixture.
Heat canola oil to 350 degrees. When it is hot, follow this "standard breading procedure": Toss the clams in the flour until they are completely covered, place in a strainer and shake off excess flour. Immerse clams (in the strainer) in the beaten egg to coat, shake off excess, then turn them into the cracker meal mixture. With your hands, gently shake off excess meal, then, in small batches, place gently in hot oil. Fry 2 to 3 minutes, turning them gently while they cook, until lightly browned.
Remove from oil with a "spider" or slotted spoon, drain briefly on a few layers of paper towel, and serve immediately with lemon wedges and tartar sauce.
Makes 8 servings of fried clams.
