Small knife clams in lightly salted brine

Small, meaty knife clams in lightly salted brine - unique shellfish in a can.

Our new knife clams are hand-harvested in the wild coastal marine environment around the pilgrim city of Santiago de Compostela. They are particularly meaty and cannot be compared to other types of mussels. They have a slightly spongy and juicy texture with a sweet seafood taste, which makes them completely unique. Normally I am not impressed by preserves in brine, but these knife clams are as juicy as pickled white asparagus, although they are also lean, rich in protein and minerals, they are quite impressive.

I love to prepare them as simply as possible, with good strong olive oil, flaked salt and good with lemon.
