Grilled Razor Clams

Güeyu Mar is one of the most extraordinary conservas producers in Spain — a project born from the legendary Asturian beachside restaurant of the same name, where chef Abel Alvarez built a global reputation for cooking fish and seafood over open wood fire on the Cantabrian shore. Every product in the conservas line begins with the same commitment: the best possible raw material, prepared with the same care and craft as the restaurant that inspired it.

These razor clams are collected artisanally — by hand, using traditional methods designed to avoid sand and stress — before undergoing a long depuration to ensure they are clean and at their best. Güeyu Mar then grills them over a blend of birch, beech, and oak wood: three distinct fire characters that together produce a complexity of smoke and heat that a single wood cannot achieve. The result is a razor clam with a genuine grilled depth, a subtle woodsmoke that doesn’t overwhelm, and the clean, briny sweetness of a shellfish handled with real respect. They are packed in Arbequina extra virgin olive oil from Castillo de Canena — one of Spain’s finest olive oil producers — which adds a delicate, fruity richness that complements rather than competes. Serve them at room temperature on good bread, or as the centrepiece of a serious conservas board.
