RAW CLAMS ON THE HALF SHELL
Steps:
- Scrub the clams under cold water with a stiff brush to remove the dirt. Next, find a durable thick cloth and fold it over several times to create a square; this will steady the clams as you shuck them and also protect your hand. Using the towel as a mitt, hold the clam firmly in the palm of your towel-covered hand; have a small bowl handy to catch the delicious juice. Insert the tip of a clam or oyster knife between the shell halves, and work it around one side to the other as you pry it open. Using the knife, cut the muscles away from the top shell, bend the shell back, and discard it. Run the knife underneath the clam to detach it completely, but leave it in its shell (take care not to cut the meat itself.) Tip out the clam juice into the bowl and pour it back over the shucked clams. Nestle the clams in a bed of crushed ice or rock salt to keep them steady. Spoon the cucumber mignonette on top and serve as part of a raw shellfish bar.
- In a small bowl, combine the rice wine vinegar, shallots, ginger, cucumber, black pepper, and cilantro; mixing with a fork. Cover and chill for at least 1 hour or up to the day before you plan to serve, to allow the flavors to come together. Serve with raw oysters and clams.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Scrub the clams under cold running water.
- Pry them open and rinse out any sand or grit.
- Gently separate the top and bottom shells, loosening and allowing the clam to divide, with some remaining on the top shell and some remaining on the bottom shell.
- Use a knife to loosen the clam in the shell, removing any sand or grit that may have been under the clam. All of the clams may not divide evenly between the top and bottom shell. Cut these clams into small pieces and distribute among the other shells. You should have at least 16 clamshell halves to fill and bake. Arrange the clam-filled shells on a baking sheet and set aside.
- In a small bowl, toss together the bread crumbs, parsley, and garlic. Use a fork to stir the olive oil into this mixture. It should be moist but not oily. Set aside.
- Fill each clam with a portion of the topping mixture, spreading it evenly over the clam to the edge of the shell. The filling should be about 1/8-inch thick.
- Bake until the topping begins to brown slightly, about 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and adjust oven temperature to broil. Place the clams under the broiler and cook until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Serve immediately.
CLAMS ON THE HALF SHELL WITH FRESH MAYONNAISE
Steps:
- Open the clams by inserting the edge of a butter knife right at the end where the most curved part of the shell is, next to the hinge, and levering it open. Do your best not to damage the inner meat with the knife. The meat is connected at the hinge and at the adductor muscle. Just scrape that off the shell of on both sides. Arrange on a serving platter and chill while preparing the mayonnaise.
- Whisk together the egg yolk, salt, ground mustard, and sugar in a glass bowl. Combine the lemon juice and vinegar in another bowl. Whisk half of the lemon juice mixture into the yolk mixture. On a non-skid pad, whisk briskly, adding the oil a few drops at a time until the liquid seems to thicken and lighten a bit, which means you've got an emulsion on your hands. Once you reach that point, you can relax your arm a little and increase the oil flow to a constant, but thin stream. Once half of the oil is in, add the remaining lemon juice mixture.
- Continue whisking until all of the oil is incorporated. Serve 1 teaspoon mayonnaise on top of chilled clams on the half shell.

I couldn't find good fresh littleneck clams so the fish monger told me about these Northern Chef Clams. They are great! Farm Raised Clams on the half-Shell Pre-cooked-Quick frozen.
