Sushi
Surf clams have a mild
ocean aroma, and the
flesh is soft and chewy. It is soft in flavors, and the sweet aromas
become
more evident after it is chewed for a while. The body of the surf clam is placed in a
bowl of sea water to expel sand. After the body is taken out of the
shell, the
valves, connector muscles, and insides are removed and discarded. The
remaining
flesh is shocked in ice water by the arai method,
and butterflied.
Surf clam is often used boiled in some casual sushi restaurants that
use the less expensive smaller types. The tip becomes bright red after
it is lightly simmered. The sweet aromas are lost, but instead, the
sweet flavors of the flesh are brought out. They become slightly
rubbery, but still soft enough to match with the sushi rice. It is
preferred in people who want to enjoy the taste rather than the
aromas.
