These are hard-shell clams from the Dorset coast, sold live in the shell by weight. The meat is sweet, briny and tender, with a clean mineral taste, and the liquor they release as they open carries much of the flavour, so cook them in a pan you can toss pasta through.
We keep them live at the Barnes counter and pack them cold. At home, purge them in cold salted water for an hour or two so they spit out any grit. Tap any open shells before cooking and discard those that do not close.
Steam them with garlic, white wine and olive oil for three to five minutes until they open, then toss through spaghetti with parsley.
Cut to order
Tell us how you want it in the order notes. Filleting, pin-boning and skinning are free, by hand at the counter. If you ask for a fish to be trimmed, headed or skinned, the finished weight comes down accordingly.
Delivery and collection
