Razor Clams

Razor clams are a delicious way to elevate your seafood selection. Different from your normal steamers or hard shell clams, but prized for sweet "lobster like" flavor. Most would turn away the opportunity to try them at home but it's not as hard to prepare them as it may seem! Very similar to squid, the most fool proof method is hot and fast or low and slow. To clean, soak in cold, salty water to rid them of any sand they may spit. In a wide skillet on high heat, throw in a few gloves of minced garlic, shallot, and parsley with a splash of white wine and a knob of butter. Add clams, a well fitted lid and cook 60-90 seconds. As soon as a shell opens, take it out! One by one, you don't want one to overcook waiting for the others. A fun and unique way to start a meal or add to a simple linguine tossed in a garlic butter sauce.

Grilled Octopus

Summer favorite once grilling season turns the corner. Get some cooked octopus marinating in your favorite sauce- we love fresh lemon juice, pesto, salt and pepper. Let sit for at least 20 minutes or so and get it on a hot grill for some nice char all the way around.

Crispy Rice

Crispy rice is such a fun way to level up an appetizer. Take some day old sushi rice, and press into a square container about an inch thick, freeze over night. Take out your frozen rice and pop out of container, cut into even squares or rectangles and pan fry in neutral oil until golden and crispy. Prepare spicy tuna by finely chopping good quality tuna, and mixing with sriracha and mayo- you'll want a paste consistency. Place spoonfuls of tuna mix over rice squares and garnish with eel sauce, wasabi, or jalapeños!

Composed Oysters

Oysters are one of our staples all year round!! We've branched out from the norm of cocktail sauce, lemon and tabasco. There are so many ways to enjoy them. One combination we keep reaching for is a thinly sliced cucumber, a drop of soy sauce and a tiny dollop of wasabi. Game changer!
