Large Wenbei Clams

Product Overview

A specialty of the Dandong coast, these live clams grow remarkably large, noticeably bigger than ordinary clams, and carry a beautifully patterned, finely striped shell. Inside sits plump, full meat with a crisp, bouncy bite and a bright, clean sweetness.

They are shipped live so texture and flavour reach your kitchen at their peak, with minimal sand and no fishy aftertaste.

Why You Will Love It

• Extra-large size, a genuinely generous portion per shell
• Distinctive fine striped shell, harvested fresh
• Thick, plump meat with a crisp bouncy texture
• Naturally sweet seafood flavour and very little grit
• Delivered live for maximum freshness
• Works across steaming, stir-fry, soup, hot pot and seafood stew

Ways to Enjoy

Before cooking: soak the live clams in salted water for several hours so they release any internal sand, then rinse the shells thoroughly.

Steamed: cook in a steamer until the shells open fully.

Stir-fried: heat oil with ginger, garlic and seasonings, then toss the clams until they pop open.

Discard any that stay closed after thorough cooking, and take care not to overcook, which turns the meat rubbery.

Storage

Keep refrigerated in an open container under a damp cloth, and do not submerge them in fresh water or seal them in an airtight bag. Cook as soon as possible for the best freshness, and discard any dead clams immediately.
