Looking for something with a little kick? Try the steamed clams Thai style at 3) Conte’s Fish Market(448 E Main St, Mount Kisco 91 ). Littlenecks also make an appearance in the eatery’s bountiful paella.

The ever-meaty razor clam can be found on the tapas menu at 2) Bistro Latino (64 Main St, Tuckahoe, 91), where they are steamed against a backdrop of pancetta and saffron broth. Want a taste of baked clams álla Nonna? The vongole oreganata, with its six servings of clammy goodness, doesn’t disappoint it’s crunchy on top, with the intense flavors of the sea below. So be adventurous-you may end up as “happy as a clam.”ġ) Alba’s Restaurant (400 N Main St, Port Chester 914- 937-2236 ) is known for its hearty portions and traditional, Old World offerings. The reality is, lightly fried calms with big, juicy bellies taste nothing like cold briny clams on the half shell, while steamed clams cooked amidst a fusion of spices offer a completely different taste experience than, say, linguine with clam sauce or New England clam chowder. The humble cousins to oysters (the latter seem to get all the fuss-possibly for those aphrodisiac tendencies?), clams come in so many varieties and can be cooked in so many different ways, it’s easy to be fooled. You’re either a clam lover or you’re not.

For a classic clam dish, Morgans Fish House serves the best linguine with clam sauce.
