Trader Joe's Razor Clams in Extra Virgin Olive Oil just landed at $5.99 for 3.91 oz tin. If you have been priced out of the tinned-fish trend, this is the entry point. It is a true first-time item, listed as new on Trader Joe's own record.
What is it?
A 3.91-ounce tin of cooked sword razor clams from Ireland in extra virgin olive oil and sea salt. That is the entire ingredient list. Trader Joe's says its supplier priced them at half to a third of what other tinned razor clams cost. The texture is soft with a little bounce, closer to tender calamari than to a chewy clam, and the flavor is sweet and almost buttery.

How to use it
Straight from the tin on a cracker or a garlic-butter crostini is the simplest route. Trader Joe's also suggests tossing them into a lemony linguine or Squiggly Knife Cut Style Noodles, or dicing them into a seafood chowder or cioppino. One tin is one serving once drained.
