Palourde clams are some of the finest shellfish money can buy, with a very sweet flavour and plump meat. They are delicious in a spaghetti vongole or simply steamed with white wine or sake. We have garnished them with fragrant lemon balm, which adds a beautiful citrus flavour to the dish and looks very attractive.
