What goes with Razor Clam?
Razor clams contain a long white muscle with a sweet marine flavour and a firmer bite than their soft internal parts. Sand can remain inside the narrow shell, so extraction and cleaning are essential to the final texture. The slim European forms and larger Pacific razor clams differ in size and structure. Portion and cook according to the actual product supplied.

Pairing principles
What pairs well with Razor Clam?
Garlic, parsley and dry white wine fit the clam’s light sweetness, with lemon added carefully to avoid a sour wash. A small butter finish softens the sauce but should not conceal its marine clarity. Dark mushrooms create an earthy counterpoint; rhubarb and gooseberry supply distinct fruit acidity. Slice these stronger elements so each mouthful remains mostly clam.
