Yeah,so went with the Vongole for the big M Segre b-day dinner-(big? well, three of us, ok?) Must say razor clam in there (w/ cockles & lit nects)...for-get about it....! Butter w/no butter...
Kind of hooked on boiling shells for xtra flav---Overkill?

boil away baby
And/Or steam some mussels (and discard if you don't want mussels in the dish) and use the juice from that. The mussel juice is super flavorful compared to clam.
great idea, could also grind the mussels up in the liquid and than stain that
++ for less waste and more taste
Did you use wine too?
White wine would be standard..
YES but don't over due it, creates acidity
Oh boy, opened the can here..
Ok, love the mussel, but seems to me that you go there you might as well throw in the scallop, not to mention the horseshoe crab....got to have some shell limit...I'd rather do (and have done) all mussel pasta...damn good.
Yes, wine, minimal...This time nice cheap muscadet
horseshoe crab!
Edible?
