A steamer clam is a term commonly used to refer to various species of soft-shell clams (such as Mya arenaria) found primarily along the East Coast of the United States. These bivalve mollusks are popular in seafood dishes and are often prepared by steaming, hence the name. The term can also sometimes refer to other types of clams suitable for steaming.
