From March 5th to April 19th many people will be observing Lent, abstaining from eating meat on Fridays and looking for other options. Matlaw's offers a variety of seafood, including the nine- pack of Stuffed Clams, which are sure to delight the most discriminating palate. Delightfully flavorful and light in texture, each natural clamshell is filled with a delectable breadcrumb stuffing with clams, green and red peppers, and delicate spices. Individually frozen to ensure freshness and flavor, Matlaw's Stuffed Clams pack a delicious punch. Cook them in the oven, microwave or on the grill and serve them up on the half shell in just under 30 minutes. Supremely tasty however they're prepared, it's no wonder Matlaw's are America's #1 Stuffed Clam on the market!

Matlaw's Stuffed Clams make a great appetizer, meal for the whole family, and a perfect celebration food for National Clams on the Half Shell Day, which just happens to fall during Lent this year, on March 31st.. The Stuffed Clams pair perfectly with a crunchy green salad with in-season vegetables such as beets, leeks, and carrots. Fresh mozzarella with olives and roasted red peppers can make a tasty complementary addition; for purists, butter and lemon or a dash of hot sauce may be all it takes.

Shelly Ismail, of the popular Mom Files blog, says, "My husband really enjoyed Matlaw's Stuffed Clams and my sometimes finicky teens loved them too. They were packed with flavor and had a light texture at the same time. Overall, it was a perfect balance of savory flavors."
