Restaurant Ready® Golden Neck® clams are harvested from the deep, cold and clean waters off the rocky New England coast.  They are a tasty and economical alternative to traditional hard shell clams.  The shell is an attractive golden color and the meat inside is sweet and slightly salty.  Unlike other deep-water clams, after harvest, Restaurant Ready® Golden Neck® clams are ”conditioned” in naturally sterilized chilled seawater tanks to assure that they are perfectly sand and grit free and have ample shelf life.  There are approximately ten-twelve clams per pound.  Restaurant Ready® Golden Neck® clams offer a great nutritional value and they are easy to prepare.  They can be served steamed, grilled, broiled or used in chowders and stews.  They make a great addition to any pasta or seafood mixture by adding flavor and color.  Store covered with ice in your refrigerator until ready for use.
