Here is a recipe for Drunken Quahogs with Ramen - it gets its name from the saké (or any Asian cooking wine) that is mixed into the broth. Also included in the broth is fresh ginger, garlic, scallions, Thai chiles and jalapenos. | My Fishing Cape Cod | Facebook

She's so majestic. -- The soft body of a clam is protected by a hard shell. The shell is made of a mineral called calcium carbonate. Two muscles—one on each end of the shell—keep the shell closed. To move, a clam uses a muscular “foot” that pushes out of the shell. A clam takes in and passes out water through two siphons, or tubes. The siphons may look like a long “neck” sticking out of the shell. - #Britannica | Bad Science Jokes
