Need to buy already shucked clam shells

[Anonymous]

I probably will need about 120 or so to make clams casino but don't have time to do it myself. I've callee a couple of fish markets who do not sell the clam shells. Any ideas where I can get some? Thanks!!

Don't you also need the clams? Can't you ask a fish market to sell you 120 clams, and to shuck them for you and give you both the meat and the shells?

I don't think that most local fish markets shuck clams. The shucked clams likely come in giant bucket/jar from a packing plant, but you could certainly ask. You can buy shells for cooking from a restaurant supply store, but they are not cheap (something like 4 for $5, or $150 for your 120 shells). If you want to make this recipe, you may have to open and clean the shells yourself.
