If you’re going to try clams I suggest steamers or as we on Long Island call them piss clams because when you bbq them they will open up when fully cooked . The ones that don’t throw out they are dead and are poisonous. use a mix of lemon , butter and garlic.MMM,MMMM

Austin;
I used to work in a butcher shop years back and it depended on the time of year for sausage flavors, but in the summer Sage flavored sausage was no.1, preceded by tomato and cheese fall and winter were the Italian, because of the holidays, Italian hot sausage was all year round. So the time of year can dictate the sausage flavor. There are a lot of sausage recipes out there, just remember where you live and the time of year. ( These sausages are what was sold out of the shop on Long Island and may differ in Iowa, Alabama, etc.)
