RAW CLAMS ON THE HALF SHELL
Steps:
- Scrub the clams under cold water with a stiff brush to remove the dirt. Next, find a durable thick cloth and fold it over several times to create a square; this will steady the clams as you shuck them and also protect your hand. Using the towel as a mitt, hold the clam firmly in the palm of your towel-covered hand; have a small bowl handy to catch the delicious juice. Insert the tip of a clam or oyster knife between the shell halves, and work it around one side to the other as you pry it open. Using the knife, cut the muscles away from the top shell, bend the shell back, and discard it. Run the knife underneath the clam to detach it completely, but leave it in its shell (take care not to cut the meat itself.) Tip out the clam juice into the bowl and pour it back over the shucked clams. Nestle the clams in a bed of crushed ice or rock salt to keep them steady. Spoon the cucumber mignonette on top and serve as part of a raw shellfish bar.
- In a small bowl, combine the rice wine vinegar, shallots, ginger, cucumber, black pepper, and cilantro; mixing with a fork. Cover and chill for at least 1 hour or up to the day before you plan to serve, to allow the flavors to come together. Serve with raw oysters and clams.

Steps:
- Rinse the clams under cold water and drain. Fill a pot large enough to hold all the clams half full of water and bring to a boil. Add the clams, reduce the flame to low and let the clams sit for 3 or 4 minutes. Drain and place the clams in a bowl of cold water. When cool, open each shell and remove the clam. Use a small knife to cut out any that adhere. Discard the black mantle covering the neck. Soak the clams in a bowl with evaporated milk or buttermilk.
- In a heavy skillet or deep fryer, heat the oil to 360 degrees. Meanwhile, remove the clams from the milk and drain. Combine the flour, masa harina, baking powder and salt. When the oil is hot, toss the clams in the flour mixture to coat. Shake off any loose flour and immediately put the clams into the oil. Do not let floured clams sit or they will not be crisp when fried. In a minute or two, when the clams are a little darker than cornflakes, remove them, drain on paper towels and serve with tartar sauce.
_SHRIMP: TO BUY, STORE, DEVEIN OR SHELL
Number Of Ingredients 0
Steps:
- TO BUY: Choose those shrimp which are a translucent gray, tinged with blue (an opaque whitish color, tinged with pink, indicates that the shrimp aren't as fresh). Size in itself is no indication of superiority: while large or jumbo shrimp are generally required for "butterflying," the small and medium varieties are appropriate for most dishes and often have a finer texture and flavor.TO STORE: Place fresh unshelled shrimp, covered, in the meat section of the refrigerator. They will keep several days. TO SHELL AND DEVEIN: With shears or a sharp knife, cut shrimp along the back, cutting to-but not through-the last tail segment. Hold cut portion under cold running water to wash gritty vein away. (Or lift up vein with a toothpick and discard.) Strip off shell and legs, leaving the tail intact. TO DEVEIN SHRIMP IN ITS SHELL: Rinse shrimp first in lightly salted water then strip off and discard legs. Using a toothpick or tweezers, draw out the vein (the dark, gritty strip along the back) in one piece if possible. If this is too difficult, slit the shell along the back with a sharp knife or shears, and, using the knife point or a toothpick, remove the vein without loosening the shell.

_CLAMS: TO BUY OR SHELL
Number Of Ingredients 0
Steps:
- TO BUY: Select only tightly closed clams, avoiding those with open or cracked shells. TO SHELL: Wash in cold water scrub thoroughly with a brush to remove sand. Insert a blunt knife blade between the two shells and press downward toward the hinges. This will slash the clam's strong tensile muscle, making it easy to pry the shells apart. With the knife, scrape each shell to loosen the meat carefully remove any shell fragments. Reserve the clam broth for soups. Note: Clams can also be opened by steaming or boiling (see "Basic Steamed Clams"). The Thousand Recipe Chinese Cookbook. ©1994 by Gloria Bley Miller.

- Deep-Fried Clams. Fried clams with a well-seasoned cracker crumb coating are delicious and easy to make at home, with no deep-fryer required. Use a high-sided Dutch oven to fry fresh shucked clams, or canned whole baby clams, allowing to drain on paper towels before serving hot, with lemon wedges alongside for squeezing.
