About Little neck clam
A little neck clam is a small hard-shell clam sold as a seafood ingredient, commonly cooked whole or removed from its shell for use in soups, sauces, and other dishes. The name is used for a size or market category rather than a preparation style.
It has a rounded, ridged shell and firm, tender meat with a briny, mildly sweet flavour. Fresh clams may be sold live in their shells; cooked, shucked, frozen, or canned forms are also possible. Species and market naming can vary by region, so the exact product may not be identical everywhere.
