Island Creek Littleneck Clams

Pour the whole tin over fresh pasta with a squeeze of lemon and smear the confit garlic clove on grilled toast. Voila!  

These Island Creek littleneck clams with confit garlic, chili and olive oil were farmed by aquaculture legends at Cherrystone Aqua-Farms in Virginia, which also operates their own hatchery - a rare and masochistic feat in this field.

This tin brings a tear to our eyes - the clams are DELICIOUS! Supremely tender and flavorful with a perfect balance of salt and heat from the chili de árbol.
