How to cook clams. An easy and delicious recipe for steamed manila clams

Pat has only 20 minutes to make a meal that will impress his 'foodie' friends. He pulls it off using Mac's Manila clams, preparing a meal that is nutritious and delicious that any so-called aficionado of food and drink would enjoy. Manila clams are environmentally sustainably farmed in the Pacific Northwest and can be purchased at most seafood retailers across North America. For more information on where you can buy Manila Clams or clam farming in general you can contact Mac's Oysters Ltd at the web address at the end of the video. Thank you for watching this "Foodie in Five" video.

I live in the Pacific Northwest. Forget the water. Use about 2 cups quality white wine and lots of pure butter. I put in fresh thyme. I do not like garlic but if you do, add some. Steam your clams, covered, about 5 minutes. Serve with lots of melted butter and crusty sourdough bread to sop up that delicious broth. Wash it down with your favorite wine. Perfection.

Manila is my favorite flavor of clam

[@edwinmagboo]

Thanks @MacsOyster for sharing your delish recipe. I had just made my Manila clam in ginger broth dish and it was delicious also.

[@thoughtbell2]

Thanks. The clams I bought at the market, in China, seem to be the same kind. I needed to get dinner done in a hurry too, so this was perfect!

[@mikebernhardttravels]

Oh my God, so easy and so delicious. I'm glad I watched this because I didn't realize that Manila clams cook a lot faster than little necks, and they would have been like hard rubber if I'd cooked them for 10 minutes. Regarding salty water to release sand, this is only an issue with wild dug-up clams. Farmed clams just need to be scrubbed and they're ready to go. We made 5 lbs of them and only like 2 clams had any sand in them.

Hi, I used your recipe, cooked the clams while looking at your generous video. I filmed my husband cooking it and talked in Portuguese at the same time. I filmed ourselves and you at the same time. The question is: Is it ok with you? I am uploading it into KZbin and if you don't like it please tell me and I will take if off the air. Thank you whatever you decide. It's a delicious recipe. Have a great 2012!

[@justonefyx]

Just a quick question. Do you keep it on high the whole entire cooking process? Thanks.

[@arturovasquez7090]

Great dish

[@qjtrinh]

don't forget to scrub the clam shells and also to soak them for at least an hour in salt water to clean them.

[@debbiezullo7056]

Never use “cooking wine”. Use a dry white wine you would drink ❤

[@BABSTHEBAB]

" à la marinière ! " I bring the wine.

[@jshkendra]

Steam them using a bottle of Rolling Rock Beer then serve them with salted white butter.

[@janet5610]

sorin86yt Y A 7. year old comment; past its expiration date which I yearn to eat! Ohhh, yummy and gooey staunchy and slimey i will roast me some clams with poached limon on your insidious glutonic comment.

[@shittyfuck]

put stainless steel knife or fork together with the clams in the water in order to make their sand out.

[@byronlin9982]

you need ginger, garlic, cilantro, and black bean sause

[@atelise]

You had me until the "add the clams" part. IF some of us have had bit of wine by this part of the video, we need you to slow dunk the finale~

[@jordanstorkan3765]

add the left over parsley for garnish ya goof

[@melonnaka4936]

Thai food😊😊😊 Step 1 . Olive oil with garlic Step 2 . wait for clams open Step 3 . Cooking by soy sauce / little sugar/Oyster sauce Step 4 . Basil Step 5 . Finally

[@danno698299]

@sethr83 Some people really care about that stuff. Just let him have it. Geez.

[@silencedsouledge]

A vegan sent me here.

[@DIANNEELEE]

@pigs3littleones Whos the dope? Not the guy cooking the clams, soooooooooooo...Uh Oh

[@4852250JOJO]

that looks good and I don't even like clams

[@mywishmylife4819]

i dont think its less than 20 mins time to prepare coz u need to wash the clams to get rid of sands then u need to chop those onions and garlics which u did not show that part...normally it takes an hour or less with the preparation and thats what u need to explain to viewers u see...

[@Ermac97]

nurul anis Not to mention that he stated that the clams will keep for 4-5 days in the fridge which tells me that if someone stores clams in the fridge, they must be anticipating the coming of guests so the whole scenario of unannounced guests is complete BS.

[@ShootingGuy773]

cilantro onion and purple onion mexican flag hell yas

[@katieraehiphiphooray]

He doesn't prep the clams. Sandy bleh.

[@aaronquak2139]

You call these steamed clams... despite the fact that they are clearly hamburgers?

[@crazyforcoffee5950]

Aaron Quak despite the fact are obviously grilled

[@Clemomar87]

Why would you chop so much onion and parsley if you're not going to use it? What a waste.

[@marcod.7246]

You need olive oil and pasta inside...

[@marcod.7246]

***** What do you mean?

[@byronlin9982]

why put pasta ? clams should be eaten by itself.

[@billytheweasel]

I ate them exactly as he did it and they were excellent. My Asian wife had them cooked like that before I could youtube this "how to..."

[@alaurad1987]

Pizzimontana not everything has be cooked Italians. There are several different ways of eating clams...

[@ExclusiveLM]

PAT READ THIS PLEASE I respect your video on clams and your efforts. But......... don't you know that the iron in clams and all alcohols give prostate cancer. You become one of the 1 in 3 men that get painful prostate cancer when you eat any food high in iron. I make sure I only eat food without iron such as eggs, nuts, rice, fruit, vegies like spinach, etc. As you can tell I'm a vegetarian.....why.....well, meat and poultry is FULL of iron and so are all fish products...and smoking, naa

[@Toojelli]
