Grill Roasted Clams

[bbquy]

Some grilled clams a little butter and cocktail sauce that I did tonight on my Q . Sorry for the blurry pics.

So you split them before grilling? I have just thrown whole clams on there, wait until they pop, then throw a little butter/garlic whatever and let it settle a bit. I kind of like the idea of cracking them first to get the flavoring on there ASAP.

Look great by the way. I love clams. Oysters make a great grill too.

Ooh yeah we need to see more stuff like this. I sorta recognize the grate, what is it?

I don't split the clams before grilling. I put them on the grate until they open up then take the top shell off. Once I take the shell of I put the butter and cocktail sauce on. When the sauce and butter start to bubble I take them off. I saw this done at an open air seafood restaurant in Guilford CT called "The place". They do it over an open pit.

The grate that I am using is the Steven Raichlen Best of Barbecue Stainless Steel Seafood Grilling Rack. It's about $20 on amazon. Below is a link to it.

Sometimes I get so tired of living in the middle of a desert.

That looks great!

Thanks jcnaz! Yes it nice to have great seafood but at least you didn't get 14ft of snow and a winter that lasted forever this year!

Great info - we moved from RI to GA 6 years ago and about the ONLY thing I miss is the price of clams!!  They are through down here.  We will try this sometime though....
