I've noticed my local Asda stock John Lewis baby clams in brine. I love seafood and really want to try these tonight. What do they taste like, compared to e.g. mussels, shrimp and cockles?

Any (preferably easy) recipes most welcome too :)

    Taste wise - nearer mussels & cockles than prawns.
    I've made clam chowder with them - very nice.
    I think it was just a random recipe off t'internet - theres many variations so you can pick one to suit your tastes/store cupboard :)

    I've never had them in brine but my first instinct would be to do Spaghetti Vongole which is easy and quick. Sweat some garlic and shallot in a pan add some tomatoes, parsley, white wine and the clams (with a bit of the liquid if it's not too saline) and cook for a few mins then add cooked spaghetti.
