I grew up on Long Island, NY and as a kid, I could walk along the shore, dig my toes into the sand and find clams to bring home.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I decided to revisit this childhood memory.<\/strong> It\u2019s a beautiful day. I\u2019ve even brought my dogs, who want to get into the act, even if they think clam digging is a game to find very hard tennis balls.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Once we\u2019ve collected all our clams, my head begins to swim with <a href=\"https:\/\/webcookingclasses.com\/eliminate-any-doubt-that-you-can-learn-to-cook\/cooking\/3973\/\">clam recipes<\/a>.<\/strong> In the end, I know that one of the recipes I will have to cook is baked stuffed clams as it&#8217;s my absolute favorite. However, to even start making baked stuffed clams, the fresh clams need to be opened.<\/p>\n<p><strong>There is a specific technique to opening fresh clams<\/strong> and a certain tool to be able to do it correctly and safely. First, it\u2019s wise to wear gloves, because the clam shells can be sharp, but also because the knife can slip under the pressure you exert to open them and you can easily cut yourself.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The key to opening fresh clams is not to cut through the belly of the clam<\/strong> as this makes the clam unappetizing for clam recipes. The proper technique is to cut the two muscles on either side of the shell to expose the clam meat in tact.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Clam digging is done, 300 clams are opened, baked stuffed clams are a must<\/strong>&#8230;but there are so many more <a href=\"https:\/\/webcookingclasses.com\/eliminate-any-doubt-that-you-can-learn-to-cook\/cooking\/3973\/\">clam recipes<\/a> to choose from!<\/p>\n<p>Related Posts:<br \/>\n<a title=\"Eliminate any doubt that you CAN learn to cook.\" href=\"https:\/\/webcookingclasses.com\/eliminate-any-doubt-that-you-can-learn-to-cook\/cooking\/3973\/\" target=\"_self\">Eliminate any doubt that you CAN learn to cook.<\/a><br \/>\n<a title=\"Why Does This Chef Want You To Know His Chef Secrets?\" href=\"https:\/\/webcookingclasses.com\/why-does-this-chef-want-you-to-know-his-chef-secrets\/cooking-classes\/5074\/\" target=\"_self\">Why Does This Chef Want You To Know His Chef Secrets?<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/webcookingclasses.com\/easy-healthy-meals\" target=\"_blank&quot;\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6179\" title=\"blog-promo\" src=\"https:\/\/webcookingclasses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/blog-promo1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"703\" height=\"391\" \/><\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of Chef Todd Mohr\u2019s favorite things is baked stuffed clams.
