About Mollusks, clam, mixed species, canned, drained solids

Bivalves are a large group of shellfish enclosed in a two-part hinged shell, and they include some of the most popular seafood in the world: clams, oysters, mussels, scallops, and cockles. Filter feeders that live in salt and fresh water, they range from tiny to very large and have been gathered and farmed as food for thousands of years. Their flavors run from the briny, oceanic taste of oysters to the sweet, tender meat of scallops and the plump richness of mussels and clams.

As a group, bivalves are exceptionally nutritious, low in fat and rich in lean protein, and they are outstanding sources of minerals, especially iron, zinc, and selenium, with oysters and clams among the best food sources of vitamin B12. They are enjoyed raw on the half shell, steamed, grilled, fried, and simmered into chowders, stews, and pasta. Freshness and food safety matter greatly with shellfish.

Choose live bivalves with tightly closed or closing shells that smell clean and briny, keep them cold and breathing under a damp cloth rather than sealed or submerged, and cook or eat them promptly.
