    I mean, yeah both independently delicious. But I don’t know if the flavors would actually work well in that the fish flavor would probably overpower the lamb.

    To each their own, but probably not something I would try. I would however, do the muscles as an appetizer, and then do a pallet cleanser of a kind, then make the lamb my main.

    Something as simple as bread, or a citrus-based sorbet or crackers may work simply enough. Although, something with mint (say sorbet with a little mint) could tie the dishes theme together.

    Edit: ok, I guess I could try it next time I cook lamb…

    Any broth for the class? I assume no broth or anything added to the clam juice/brine/water?

    I will make this, I will call it Clambs. Or..
    Sand and land.

    What do you think about adding tarragon?

    Interesting combo. Not the most obvious one, granted, but I’d give it a try.

    Living in Portugal and knowing the clam dish you speak of, I see how this works. Sounds like you probably ate it all.

    that looks amazing!! could you share the recipe for clams? I usually do white wine base but that broth looks incredible.

  7. I make shepherds pie using braised lamb shanks. 90 minutes braise. Brilliant. Good choice!

    My wife and I love to make jokes about getting a chicken yakisoba and smoked salmon sushi is “surf and turf” and this is even more appropriate I love it

    I didn’t think they would work well together miraculously.
