This is like the best appetizer ever! I love this dish! I have not had it in awhile and It's only one restaurant that make them really good. The bad news is that the restaurant went down hill and I do not think I would enjoy eating there! : (

The rick salt helps the clams to stand so they won't fall over in the oven, for anyone asking.

Unbelievable experience... Garlic, butter, bacon, clams... Come on! :)

You totally rock, Chef John! :)

This looks delicious, btw! :)

i was like: hah! this isn't doing it for me.... and the in the last 10 seconds I just went: ooooh, that looks yum!!!!
lol

I believe the rock salt allows for even heat distribution, and it also allows you to nestle the rounded clam shells in it, so they done tip over and spill their liqour/juices..

[GenjitsuSama]

Ah yum. I can totally impress people with that dish someday XD

[ArtisticLana]

I dont eat clams, but you made me
want to try some. So good!

@Itsnameisgundam the rock salt makes sure the clams stay in place...dont wiggle around or flip over while cooking...

[elgendiking]

@hypna bacon fat has a meaty goodness when butter has a nutty taste and if you meld the flavor together it gives the dish a Variety of different tastes

[LipGlossNBlack]

oh my goodness. that looks so good!!!!

[LilPrinces]

looks yummmyy, when my mom makes it .. it tastes funny lol

[kotk]

remember that line from Shallow Hal where Hal says, "Now she's eating my clam casino!"

[nwLohmann]

Amazing. Clams are very expensive where i live but i'm going to try this anyway. Can you explain why the rocksalt method is used?

[dyslexichobo]

Does the rock salt actually change the flavor at all?

[gsboss]

for a better clams casino, or at least i think, just take the clams, cut in half and split between both sides of shell if big enough, and put bacon, cheese, and parsley on top. thats it. broil it until cheese browns and melts and its done. clams cook and bacon cooks there. its great. so simple and easy too.
