Fresh From the Coast, Built for Sharing

This cherry stone clam salsa brings a little New England flavor to the snack table.

Fresh clams, sweet corn, and vibrant vegetables combine with Narragansett Bay for a bright, briny salsa that's equal parts seafood dish and party appetizer. It's unexpected, incredibly fresh, and guaranteed to get people talking.

Preparation:

  1. Place clams in a pot with 1 cup of water and cover with a tight-fitting lid.
  2. Bring to a simmer and steam until the clams open. Remove from the pot and allow to cool. Discard the cooking liquid.
  3. In a food processor, combine all remaining salsa ingredients except the corn. Pulse a few times until chopped and combined.
  4. Transfer the mixture to a serving bowl and stir in the corn.
  5. Remove clams from their shells and roughly chop.
  6. Fold chopped clams into the salsa and season with Narragansett Bay.
  7. Chill briefly if desired and serve.

Pro Tip:

Don't over-process the salsa. A little texture helps the clams stand out and keeps the salsa from becoming watery.

Make It Your Own:

  • Mix in extra jalapeño for heat
  • Finish with fresh lime juice for brightness

What To Serve It With:
