The recipe is great , however there is no mention about cleaning the razor clams first!! I got stomach sick from not doing it, so look for video tip on how to clean and make sure you use cleaned razor clams !!

The liquid volumes are slightly off even if the flavor profiles are spot on. Made a slight detour in terms of sautéing the garlic in butter and then adding clams and wine. Then followed the recipe exactly but was still difficult to thicken/emulsify. Would suggest reducing wine and lime juice since the clam/pan juices will add some liquid to the overall sauce.
