What parts of a bar clam does one eat?

Answer by:

Hi Gary,

Thank you for reaching out to Ask an Islander!

Bar clams are so delicious, bottled bar clams are my favourite but you also can't beat a deep fried bar clam.

The yummy parts that we eat are the thumb or foot, the connector muscles that are similar to a small scallop and really, you can pretty much all of it except for the belly which is discarded during the cleaning process.

Enjoy!

Valerie
