Buying advice

When buying canned clams, check the ingredient list for added preservatives or artificial flavors. For recipes like chowder, chopped clams are convenient, while whole clams are better for pasta or salads. Consider sustainability certifications and the type of clam (baby clams tend to be tenderer). Price per ounce varies; multi-packs can save money.
