Local Cherrystone Clams

Contains Shellfish

Bright, zesty, 2.5 inch cherrystones are the next clam size up from littlenecks and topnecks. They have a bigger flavor and a slightly chewier texture. They're just the right size for stuffing. What to do if your shellfish is open when you receive it: Shellfish will naturally 'gape' when out of water, meaning they naturally open and close their shells while in storage. If the shell remains "gaping", run cold, fresh water over the shell while tapping with a spoon or on a chopping board - in most cases it will close up tightly. If the shell still does not close, then your mussels may be spoiled.
