Frozen Fish Direct’s quality frozen clams will offer you the food experience you enjoy for your convenience. Naturally, clams are healthy, low in fat and also a good protein source. The clam shapes differ according to the species and can be elongated, circular or oddly shaped. Hard clams are sold in varying sizes which are used in chowders, stuffing and fritters. The soft-shelled clam has such an elongated shape, small and fragile and a wide hanging neck.
While the surf clam, the most common and largest of the clam species, is smooth, tan coloured and oval. Surf clams are commonly used as canned food to be included in creamy soups and breaded strips. Clams are frozen at a very low temperature to preserve them. Quick freezing leads to very little damage to tissue. To avoid freezer burns, they must be stored in their liquid and excess air must be expelled from the containers. Frozen clam meat should be defrosted for 24 hours in the fridge but never refrozen.
It is necessary to protect cooked clam meats for a long time by freezing and cold storage. Before freezing, the clean and cooked clam meat can be packaged in different containers, such as waxed cartons or polythene packs, or the clam meat may be frozen unwrapped, packaged and glazed after. Since the clam meats are small and have excellent surface contact with the cooling system, clam meats adapt well both to the plate freezing or the air blast freezing method. Before storage, unwrapped meats must be glazed, and all forms of packaging should ideally be kept at -20°F. After 8 to 9 months of freezing, thawed meats could still be of outstanding quality with taste and texture similar to fresh. The taste is improved by the defrosting of the meats in a 10 ° salt solution, the salt serving as a flavouring agent.
