Cherrystone Clams

3:00 o'clock snack was extra tasty today. We got home from the market and couldn't wait, so half the clams got taken off the dinner menu and put on the snack menu.

Instead of steaming them in water or wine, J steamed them on a rack today so they would retain every last bit of flavor.
And, proving once and for all why he is Spouse in Charge of Aquatic Affairs, J came up with a great combination for a really fragrant dipping sauce: ponzo, chopped green onions, and a little zest from both a pomelo and a blood orange.
