well I have to add my own recipe. A freind of mine has a clam farm, sells his clams (little neck) under the the "Stella Marris" name, suposably they end up in high end resturants for excessive prices. all I know is they are mighty tasty! The first bunch he gave me I just steamed them like oysters, he told me I was wasting those clams by cooking them that way. He told me to pour about 1" of white wine in a sauce pan, add real butter, and a little garlic salt. Once it gets to temp and is steaming, add the clams and let them steam till they open, then slosh the mix around so it gets up in the clams good. It usually only takes a few minutes. Then remove the clams and place them on your plate, use a piece of italian bread to mop up the sauce. Its a real quick and tasty way to cook'em.
And for those of you that have never had Low Country Stew(frogmore), start with a big pot of boiling water, add crab boil packets and let them boil for 15 minutes. Add cut potatos and oinions, let them cook for a while, add corn on the cob, let it cook for a little while longer, then add clams, shrimp, crabs or anything else that seems to please you. Let that boil till the shrimp are done(usually less than 5 minutes). Once its all done, pour the whole mess out on the table(best done outdoors on the picnic table), grap a beer and start eating
