Clams like other bivalves are low in fat, high in protein and omega-3 fatty acids. Clams are also a rich source of potassium and are relatively low in calories. =========================================================== Nutritional data for a 3-ounce (85 g) cooked portion of clams: Water………………..54.09 g Calcium…………………..78 mg Calories………………….126 Phosphorus……………...287 mg Protein……………….21.71 g Sodium……………………95 mg Total lipid fat……….....1.65 g Potassium………………..534 mg Carbohydrate………….4.36 g Iron………………….....23.76 mg Cholesterol………….....57 mg Zinc……………………...2.32 mg =========================================================== Kind of looks like a perfect food source, but I would cook it thoroughly if I were you, they can be eaten when ingested half-cooked or raw even. -------------- The best victories are won not by adversity and brute force.

Damn tummy won't let me eat them without medicine though :( oh well...Don't forget to cook them until all of the clams are opened and have a good color. -------------- The best victories are won not by adversity and brute force.
