jetro 5,349 Posted January 16, 2017 Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 They make a lovely soup, or if you flash fry them like squid they are gorgeous. Its either fast frying or slow boiling. Other wise they just end up rubbery and chewy. Atb j. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Squeamish5 309 Posted January 16, 2017 Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 Get the sand out of them!!!! (Google how to) I buy and cook them in Spain every year no probs. bought them once from my local fishmonger... load of sand in the bottom of pan. Tomatoes fennel and some leek or onion. Cook like you would mussels or clams. I usually splash some Ricard in to fried fat tomatoes leeks and garlic and then stir the razor clams in, put lid on for a few mins and then add flavours or liquid according to what I've got in. (Fennel seeds and white wine or good stock?) Potato wedges done in chicken dripping and pinch smoked parika and sea salt goes well. V jealous. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jetro 5,349 Posted January 16, 2017 Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 That's sounds nice. Slice them up thinly and they should cook nice and quick. Are you digging these yourself. J Quote Link to post Share on other sites
