It is distinguished from other species because its siphons are \u003cstrong\u003eattached along\u003c\/strong\u003e. It is one of the three native species, alongside the blonde clam and the famous fine clam.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA good way to distinguish it from the fine clam is by checking \u003cstrong\u003ethe hinge\u003c\/strong\u003e: the slipper clam has two dark spots next to it. Its surface is smoother than that of the fine clam, which usually shows marked lines in a grid pattern.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts fragility limits export possibilities compared to the fine clam's resistance outside of water; however, the organoleptic qualities of both species are very similar. The slipper clam is an excellent gastronomic alternative to the fine clam and can be prepared with the same recipes. Due to its size, the \u003cstrong\u003eideal recipe\u003c\/strong\u003e to enjoy the flavor of the slipper clam is a la marinera. It is also suitable for preparations with rice or noodles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eGalician slipper clam\u003c\/strong\u003e is of a quality similar to the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.mariscosogrove.com\/marisco-gallego-de-las-rias-baixas\/18-122-almeja-fina-gallega.html#\/32-tamano-grande\"\u003efine clam\u003c\/a\u003e, although it is smaller and a bit more delicate as it lasts less time out of water. It also has a flavor and texture similar to that of the \u003cstrong\u003efine clam\u003c\/strong\u003e, allowing us to make the same recipes with both \u003cstrong\u003emollusks\u003c\/strong\u003e, making the \u003cstrong\u003eGalician slipper clam\u003c\/strong\u003e a very good \u003cstrong\u003equality\u003c\/strong\u003e in relation to \u003cstrong\u003eprice\u003c\/strong\u003e. If you want to physically distinguish it by color and shell:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePay attention to its color as it presents a color between pale gray and cream.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe shell has less marked concentric lines than the fine clam. It does not have radial lines.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is recommended to keep this type of clam in the same mesh bag in which we purchased them, as being tightly packed will prevent them from opening and thus allow them to last longer in our refrigerators.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEach kilo of Galician slipper clam contains about 60 pieces and is estimated for about 4 people.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mariscos O Grove","offers":[{"title":"Extra","offer_id":56876364300632,"sku":"31::396","price":36.36,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Mediana","offer_id":56876364333400,"sku":"31::243","price":24.09,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gorda","offer_id":56876364366168,"sku":"31::54","price":31.82,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0934\/0577\/4168\/files\/535.jpg?v=1773141387","url":"https:\/\/www.singular.shop\/en-intl\/products\/galician-slipper-clam","provider":"Singular Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
