Bivalve shellfish, such as oysters, clams, and mussels, are some of the world’s most popular seafood options and are harvested at a faster rate compared to crustaceans. While these filter feeders taste very much like the water bodies they live in, they have managed to make their way into a variety of all-time favourite dishes like Spanish paella, vongole pasta, Japanese steamed clams, and more.
While many seafood lovers know the different taste profiles between oysters, mussels, and clams, they are still unsure of the other contrasts that set these molluscs apart. Hence, in this blog post, we’ll explore some common molluscs you can enjoy the next time you head to your local seafood market or purchase your clams online!
Clams are usually found in freshwater and sometimes eaten raw; most of the time, they are the best candidates for grilling, frying, or steaming. Clams are a good choice if you intend to take steps toward the mollusc family. For instance, we think creamy clam chowder is a solid pick when you are still getting used to the taste of shellfish. While there are over 100 edible types of clams, only a handful of them are available commercially.
