Razor Clam Recipes

I love razor clam. They are so delicious, sweet and one of my favorite clams ever!

They are many ways of cooking the clams. The clams can be steamed, baked, broiled in their shell.

The meat can be breaded and deep-fried or eaten raw in ceviche.

They are two types of razor clams: Pacific razor clam and Atlantic razor clam. The main difference is in the shape.

The Atlantic specie are oblong in shape, average 6 inches in length, resembling a straight razor and long rectangle in shape.

Pacific razor clams are rounder, shorter and egg-shaped. They are mostly found in Washington and Oregon.

They are increasing popular these days. You can often find them on the menu of fine dining restaurants whenever they are in season.

How to Cook Razor Clams?

In this recipe, I cooked the clams using a cast-iron skillet on the stove top. I made a garlic butter and pepper sauce, which is absolutely delicious!

For the best results, make sure that the cast-iron skillet is very hot so the clams sizzle and cooked in a flash on the stove top.

Just spoon over the garlic butter pepper sauce on the clams and you will have a restaurant quality recipe!
