Queen Clam (Almeja Reina)

The Majesty of the Sea: Premium Queen Clams

The Almeja Reina is a favorite among seafood connoisseurs who seek a more substantial and flavorful experience than standard small clams. Known for its beautiful, robust shell and generous meat portions, it is a versatile delicacy that brings the authentic taste of the deep ocean to your kitchen.

Flavor and Texture Profile: These clams offer a sweet, briny flavor with a clean finish. The texture is notably firm and meaty, providing a satisfying “bite” that holds up exceptionally well to high-heat cooking. When prepared, they release a rich, natural liquor that acts as a built-in sauce, perfect for dipping crusty bread or flavoring a pasta base.

Top Culinary Applications:

• Grill on the Half-Shell: Top with a mix of butter, garlic, and parsley, then grill until bubbly for a stunning appetizer.

• Seafood Rice & Paella: Their large size makes them a visual and flavorful centerpiece in Spanish-style rice dishes.

• Clams al Ajillo: Sautéed with olive oil, garlic, and a splash of white wine for a classic Mediterranean delicacy.

• Stuffed Clams (Baked): The large shells are ideal for stuffing with seasoned breadcrumbs and herbs for a “Clams Oreganata” style preparation.

Product Highlights:

• Extra-Large Size: Provides a more impressive presentation and more meat per shell than common varieties.

• Freshly Frozen: Processed immediately after harvest to ensure the peak of freshness and safety.

• Rich in Nutrients: A high-protein, low-fat seafood option loaded with iron and Vitamin B12.

• Gourmet Standard: The preferred choice for “Marisquerías” and fine dining seafood restaurants.
