Originating from Italy and mainly caught in the Adriatic Sea, fresh large clams are a highly valued seafood due to their superior quality. This mollusk, one of the most prominent in the Spanish market, is typically sold alive, allowing for enjoyment of its freshness year-round. However, it is during the autumn and winter months that its flavor is most intense and appealing. Nutritionally, clams are quite interesting as they have a high water content and are rich in protein. The inclusion of omega-3 fatty acids in their composition is another reason they should be part of a balanced diet. Additionally, they provide a good source of essential micronutrients such as calcium, iron, iodine, phosphorus, and selenium. For example, a serving of clams can cover up to 63% of the recommended daily iodine intake for young men and up to 81% for women of the same age group and physical activity. They also exceed the recommended iron intakes, making them a healthy dietary option. Clams are also a source of vitamins A and niacin, which help maintain normal skin and mucous membranes. To maintain their freshness, it is ideal to keep clams refrigerated and consume them as soon as possible. Their versatility in the kitchen allows them to be prepared in various ways, from boiled to stews.
