Razor Clams
(Ensis Directus), better known as Razor Clam or Atlantic Razor Clam, is characterized by an elongated, razor-shaped, brownish shell. A hinge attaches the two valves in the anterior end.
The shell is slightly curved. They live in muddy or sandy sands in fairly shallow water. The size varies with age, reaching an average size of 12 cm when reaching the age of 4 years.
They are a very valued mollusk both for their taste and nutritional values:
- They are high in protein and vitamin B12 and B1.
- They are a high source of calcium, iron ore, and phosphorous.
- Contain Omega-3 fatty acids.
Vima Razor Clams come from the Netherlands and are presented raw and in a neat tray.
Whether steamed, fried, or grilled, Razor Clams are delicious and very nutritious seafood.
The classic method for cooking Razor Clams is by steaming them as it brings out their sweet, delicate meat. On the grill is another perfect option. Don´t overcook them as the texture becomes rubbery.
