Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Clean the Razor Clams

    Start by soaking the razor clams in a bowl of salt water for 20-30 minutes to help purge any sand. After soaking, rinse them under cold running water to remove any grit.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, mix together the olive oil, lemon juice, chopped parsley, minced garlic, crushed black peppercorns, and salt. Whisk until well combined.

Grilling

  1. 3

    Marinate the Clams

    Place the cleaned razor clams in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Allow the clams to marinate for about 15 minutes, turning them occasionally to ensure they are evenly coated.

  2. 4

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a charcoal grill, ensure the coals are glowing red and covered with white ash.

  3. 5

    Grill the Clams

    Place the marinated razor clams on the grill grates, lid closed, and grill for about 3-5 minutes or until the shells open. Discard any clams that do not open.

  4. 6

    Serve

    Remove the clams from the grill and serve immediately, drizzled with any remaining marinade, and garnished with additional chopped parsley if desired.
