SHELLFISH RECIPES

This category includes a wide variety recipes for many different types of shellfish. Think quahogs (hard shelled clams), surf clams, steamer clams, periwinkles, razor clams, slipper limpets, whelks, scallops, and mussels. While recipes may call for a specific type of shellfish, often other shellfish with similar characteristics can be substituted in. For example, slipper limpets can be steamed in broths designed for mussels or clams and whelks, razor clams, and periwinkles all are delicious marinated in a snail salad. However, some recipes work best for specific species. For example, its hard to replace a clam in a recipe for a seared scallop.
