Prairies

These praires (also known as carpet shells or Venus clams) come from clean, well-circulated coastal areas and are offered in 1 kg units. The clams are evenly sorted, possess a robust, finely patterned shell, and are characterised by their high meat content. The pre-cleaned quality ensures low sand content and reliable further processing. The meat is tender, juicy, and aromatic, with a mild, slightly sweet sea flavour and a fine minerality. The clams open quickly and evenly when cooked, making them particularly suitable for Mediterranean and classic clam dishes. Ideal for steaming, clam pans, white wine or herb broth, pasta dishes, risotto, soups, antipasti, and as an aromatic addition to seafood platters. The stable shell structure also ensures an attractive presentation.
