Littlenecks: Around 7/8″ to 1″ across the hinge these hard-shelled clams can be grilled, steamed, served with pasta, made into soup, or enjoyed on the half shell. Their tenderness also renders them great candidates for clams casino. Middlenecks: Slightly larger than Littlenecks, these hard shelled clams can be enjoyed raw or cooked just like their smaller counterparts.
