Summers on the Vineyard are all about fresh seafood. Once we board the ferry, we are craving fresh lobster rolls (our favorite is from the Black Dog Tavern), grilled swordfish and, of course, dad’s clams. Whenever he’s there, he watches the tides then heads out into the bay to dig hundreds of fresh clams, and sometimes a few oysters. I’ve watched for years as he shucks them and eats them raw (a delicacy I’ve only recently been willing to try). We gobble up pots of them steamed with a little melted butter; Mom makes her famous New England clam chowder, and every once in a while, Dad makes clams casino.

On a recent trip, he brought me a dozen so I decided to give clams casino a try. First challenge: I have never shucked a clam. Thanks to Mom, I have the right knife. I left the rest to YouTube, watching a couple videos and then having a go at it myself. Check this out:

Not too bad, huh?

The rest is easy: mix a little panko, garlic, chives and salt in a dish and sprinkle it over each clam. Top with a little bacon and drizzle with some melted butter. Pop them under the broiler and my-oh-my they are tasty! They make a great appetizer (although I admit I ate them all myself for lunch!)

Welcome to Michael's by Michael McCarty
'Clams Casino!' is one of my favorite Michaelisms, something I yell when I feel like I'm living the high life. This recipe never goes out of fashion; it is just too, too good. Perfect for serving on the deck with a glass of white wine or around the holidays with martinis.

Directions

Combine the butter, garlic, parsley, thyme, lemon juice, and salt and pepper to taste in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the metal blade. Process until blended, then scrape from the bowl into a clean container. Set aside.
Preheat the broiler.
Shuck the clams and place them on the half shell.
Line a large baking pan with loosely crumpled aluminum foil. Nestle the clams into the foil so that they will stay flat and anchored.
Spoon about a teaspoon of the lemon-herb butter on top of each clam. Sprinkle each with an equal portion of the bacon, followed by the bread crumbs. Place under the preheated broiler about 6 inches from the heat and broil until the bread crumbs are golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes.
Remove from the broiler and serve.
