steamer

What people from New England call soft shell clams. They are know by the name steamers because that is how they are best cooked. They are usually dipped in melted butter and sometimes garlic or wine sauce.

I just got some fresh steamers from the mud flats of Cape Cod. I will steam them up and some butter for a good dinner tonight.
