Digging up an underrated PNW delicacy
The Pacific Northwest is a great place to hunt for clams of all types: Razor, manilla, butter, and even the elusive geoduck. But one bivalve flies under the radar: horse clams.
In this episode, Seattle Eats host Tan takes a horse clamming lesson with Chris Cvetkovich, owner of Nue on Capitol Hill. Chris digs up a bounty of horse clams and shares his recipe for preparing them in a Peruvian ceviche.
Remember to get a shellfish license from the Washington Department of Food and Wildlife before any clamming trip.
