A CLOSER LOOK
How to recognize it
A pair of narrow, elongated shells encloses the meat. Chinese razor clams have roughly rectangular yellowish-brown shells with pale interiors, unlike rounder clams or fan-shaped scallops.
In the kitchen
Cooked in noodle soups, including some Taizhou ginger soup noodles, or stir-fried with ginger and scallion. Eat the meat, not the shell.
Species, size and preparation vary; some products are dried. This entry covers the shellfish ingredient, not a guarantee of species in a restaurant serving.
