Saw these live giant Arctic Surf Clams on special at ’ Full Fresh Supermarket, King’s Square, 16th & Woodbine, Markham ’ for $3.99 per pound. Bought two for just over $6.00!
Decide to make a super exotic traditional Cantonese stir-fry dish :
" Sauteed Surf Clam Meat ( alternative to using Scallops, Prawns, Razor Clams or Squid ) with fermented shrimp paste and yellowing chives …( slowly stir frying aromatics of diced scallions, shallots and minced ginger and garlic to begin cooking process ).
Sweet, chewy and crunchy meat, super-pungent/aromatic, savory with a pleasant salty kick, chives contributed additional textural contrast…overall, a huge concentrated umami package, great with rice!
