Asian Style Clams
Not only the subtle taste of sea makes clams a great catch - these little delicacies have it all: they are rich in the trace elements iron and iodine. Iron is responsible for the formation of red blood cells, iodine is important for the thyroid gland.
The spicy mussels make a good light starter in a Far Eastern menu - if you can't get enough of them, just serve them as a low-fat main course for two. In any case, baguette or wholemeal toast go well with it.
