According to NOAA, "Shrimp, tuna, clams—the most popular seafood items in the United States are familiar names to both seafood lovers and the occasional consumer." I know not everyone loves clams on the half-shell, but they are one of my favorites, and while you are at it throw some oysters and mussels on that plate too.
