Savoury Clams (Varnish Clams)

Discover the captivating tale of savoury clams, also known as varnish clams, who found their way to the stunning waters of the Strait of Georgia, BC, by serendipity in the late 1980s or early 1990s.

The most common way to cook clams is to steam them. They can also be cooked in soup, baked, or stir-fried. Clams can be cooked together with mussels. You will find that they cook faster than manila clams because their shells are thinner.
