About Mollusks, clam, mixed species, raw
Clams are saltwater bivalve mollusks eaten around the world, from tiny littlenecks to big chowder clams. Raw, the meat is soft and briny; it firms up quickly when steamed open, which is the usual first step before it lands in pasta, chowder or a seafood boil.
For very few calories — about 86 per 100 grams — clams pack an unusual nutritional punch. They are among the very richest food sources of vitamin B12, holding many times a day's worth in a modest portion, and they deliver a strong dose of iron, selenium and other trace minerals. Protein is high at around 15 grams per 100 grams, while fat stays minimal.
The trade-off is sodium and food safety. Clams are naturally salty, at roughly 600 milligrams of sodium per 100 grams, and raw or undercooked shellfish can carry bacteria such as Vibrio — so pregnant women, older adults and anyone with a weakened immune system are usually advised to eat them fully cooked rather than raw.
