About National Clams on the Half Shell Day
clams and oysters are most often served on half shell. The top half of the shell is removed and are most often served on a bed of crushed ice with lemon wedges and mignonette sauce or cocktail sauce. The "on the half shell" presentation enables the diner to pluck the meat from the shell, optionally dip it in the sauce, and bite into the mollusk.
