Recipe Notes
There are a few different types of clams that are good for grilling, but in our opinion, the best clams to grill are littleneck or cherrystone clams.
Cooked clams can last in the fridge for up to three days. Once they've been cooked, it's important to keep them refrigerated in an airtight container. If the container is not airtight, the clams will spoil quickly.
