×Clams Stir-fried with Black Bean and Chilli

Why you must eat itClams from the island's inner waters are stir-fried hard and fast with fermented black beans, chopped chilli and garlic. The heat is cut the moment the shells open, so the meat stays plump. The salt of the beans, the bite of chilli and the liquor from the shells cling together — suck the shells and drink the broth with them. Good over rice or with cold beer. Coloane is a fishing village facing the mouth of the Pearl River, and such clams and small fish are the eatery's draw. Often at market price, charged by the weight in the shell.
