Razor clams are elongated, shellfish with tender, mildly sweet meat, popular in coastal cuisines like Pacific Northwest, Chinese, and Mediterranean cooking. Rich in protein, they provide essential amino acids required for muscle maintenance and overall health. Razor clams are a natural source of vitamin B12, which supports energy production and neurological function. They also provide selenium, an antioxidant vital for immune system health, and omega-3 fatty acids known for heart health benefits. Low in fat and calories, they are a great option for those managing their weight. However, as with many shellfish, razor clams can be high in cholesterol, so moderate consumption is advised. Their briny flavor makes them an excellent addition to soups, stir-fries, or grilled dishes, offering both nutritional value and culinary versatility. Freshness is key to ensuring safety and optimal flavor.
