During the summer months, I love to eat seafood. Clams, mussels, lobster, crab … whatever I can get my hands on. Seeing steamed clams reminds me of my childhood. I have memories of get togethers with HUGE pots full of steamed clams, mussels and eel. Everyone used to eat off paper plates and plastic forks, it was the ultimate of a summer-beach feast. Here is my rendition on steamed clams.
