"New Jersey Bay stuffed clams, we live on the coast in Jersey where there is an abundance of fresh seafood. I like to try new recipes and have a lot of fun inventing my own."

These were totally awesome!! They were very simple to make, had a great texture and disappeared so fast that I made a double batch and hid them in the freezer (Just for me)the second time. Norellaura
