If You Want to be Happy as a Clam, Eat Some Clams! -- coming soon
WeLoveClams.com is a labor of love, provided by Michael N.
Marcus. This site has a simple purpose: to spread the word about clams, good places to eat them and good ways to cook them.
​
We welcome recommendations and contributions, especially with digital photos. We're particularly interested in hearing about great clam joints outside the northeast US where we are.

A clam is like sex.​
Even when it isn't very good, it's still pretty good.​ When it's terrible, it's REALLY terrible.
Clams are good for your health. A recent study showed that 99.76% of people who ate clams were still​ alive 24 hours later.
"Where's my weenie?" Hard-shell clams (cherrystone, littleneck, etc.) are born as males and many become females later.
(below) Who decides these are the best clams in the world? I do. If you disagree, build your own website.
