Steamers ~ Mm!
Ready for the stove.

Steamed clams is a seafood dish cooked by steaming.
In New England the dish is commonly prepared with a kind of shellfish called "steamers", a somewhat generic name that usually refers to a small soft-shell clam harvested and served along the East Coast and in New England. Steamers are so named because of the way they are most often prepared. They are absolutely delicious, just dipped in drawn butter, and about as messy as eating lobster, but that's why we have napkins.
