Stuffed clam is a classic seafood dish often associated with New England cuisine in the United States, although variations exist in coastal regions globally. It typically involves fresh clam meat mixed with breadcrumbs, herbs, garlic, onion, and spices, then baked or broiled in a clam shell until golden and fragrant. Other ingredients like chopped vegetables, Parmesan cheese, or bacon may be added for richer flavor. Stuffed clams are high in protein from the shellfish and can provide essential nutrients such as iron, zinc, and vitamin B12. However, portions can be high in sodium, particularly if pre-packaged seasoning blends are used. The breadcrumbs and fats from additional ingredients like butter or oil may also raise calorie content. Choosing whole-grain breadcrumbs and limiting added fats can make this dish a more balanced option while keeping its savory appeal.
