@walknbob

Hi, thanks for watching! Yes it is Rocket that we used but you could ubstitute rocket for any green leaf you like.

We didn't do any cleaning during the edited parts..

I'm a bit mystified about these clams... Do they taste like regular clams??? I've never seen one before because I believe we do not have them in my country. (or maybe that's just me and my ignorance..) I love seafood, especially shellfish, and I wish I could taste that even just once. Lol.

@heelrunner hmmm might be a bit far to post clams!!! They have a subtle tast, similar to regular clams the texture is more meaty though. When you are in the UK you will have to try some.

@0undergroundcookery0 When I'm in the UK, I'll DEFINITELY try some. ^_^ They do have them in the states too, right? Maybe I'll get some there, I'm moving there this summer.

@heelrunner They do. Especially on the west coast I think. Although they look a little different!

I've enjoyed razor clams at a local oriental restaurant, unfortunately now out of business. Interestingly I just picked up some at a local "H-Market" in Silver Spring, MD before viewing this video. Florence Fabricant wrote an article about them (four recipes) in the 15 Feb. 2011 New York Times.
