How to eat steamed clams

Step 1 - Fly to Boston on business.


Step 2 - Find a good seafood restaurant



Step 3 - Order steamers with fries




Step 4 - Select a clam (if the shells are closed then the clam
was dead when steamed so DON'T eat that one!)



Step 5 - Gently remove the clam from the shell


Step 6 - Remove the skin from the clam's 'foot'
(After being steamed the skin comes right off like a sock)


Step 7 - Rinse the clam in the blue bowl of warm water
(This removes any sand... though you usually still get a little bit
of sand every few bites. Its just part of the experience.)


Step 8 - Dip the rinsed clam into the yellow bowl of warm butter.


Step 9 - ENJOY!!!
