Frequently Asked Questions

What do razor clams taste like?
They're sweet, briny, and delicate—like a sweeter, more refined version of regular clams. The flavor is clean and oceanic without being fishy.

Are they already cleaned?
Yes! They're shelled and de-sanded, so they're completely ready to eat or cook. No prep work required.

Should I rinse them?
You can drain the brine, but rinsing isn't necessary. Some people like to rinse to reduce saltiness, but the brine is quite light.

Can I eat them straight from the tin?
Absolutely! They're fully cooked and ready to eat. Just drain, add a squeeze of lemon, and enjoy.

How do I cook with them?
Add them at the end of cooking since they're already cooked. Just warm them through in pasta, paella, or sautés—don't overcook or they'll get tough.

Why are they more expensive than regular clams?
Razor clams are harder to harvest, have a sweeter flavor, and are considered a premium delicacy in Spanish cuisine. You're paying for exceptional quality and rarity.

Conservas de Cambados sources from the pristine waters of Galicia using responsible harvesting methods.
