Oysters, Clams and Mussels

Clams are a great choice to feature on any menu. Quick to prepare they can be eaten raw, breaded and fried, or of course transformed into creamy clam chowder! Mussels are a staple of any good restaurant, cooking swiftly and easily absorbing the flavors of broths, sauces, or mignonettes. Their briny taste pairs so well with a wide range of flavors enhancing and rounding out the qualities of any dish. The briny fresh taste of an oyster is a true thing of beauty. Oysters can be prepared in almost any manner, gaining their flavor from the environment in which they live. Much like a fine wine, oysters have terroir, each boasting their own characteristics and flavor profiles. The next time you’re yearning for some seafood, look to the bivalves! We love these mollusks because they’re not only delicious and nutritious, but they are also the more environmentally friendly choice when compared to fish or crustaceans. Immobile and plant-like, bivalves simply filter nutrients from their environment to sustain them, feeding themselves while making the ocean a cleaner place. Full of healthy omega-3 fats, mollusks do not contain the same high levels of mercury that so many other fish have. In a word, they are one of the best choices you can make in regards not only to flavor but to ocean sustainability as well!
