Choose Your Perfect Clam:

• Little Neck Clams (The Appetizer): The smallest and most tender clam, typically 1.5–2 inches. These are the gold standard for eating raw on the half shell, or for light preparations like Clams Linguine or quick steaming, where their sweet, briny liquor shines. Buy Little Neck Clams for maximum tenderness.

• Cherrystone Clams (The Classic): Medium-sized, approximately 2.5–3 inches. Their firmer, plump meat is ideal for cooked preparations, including classics like Clams Casino, baking, or grilling. Cherrystone Clams offer a robust clam flavor that holds up well.

• Chowder Clams (The Hearty Choice): The largest size, offering the meatiest portion (4+ inches). With a firmer texture, these are best when chopped. They provide the deep, rich flavor that is essential for the heartiest New England Clam Chowders and stuffing recipes.
