making all the clams as evenly heated as possible. After about 5 to 10 minutes of grilling, a delicious fresh gasoline-grilled clams are done!

wild ingredients are used instead of cultured clams. Many guests from China have a special love for this dish, and they want to taste the gasoline roasted clam when they come to Nanpu. This dish has become the signature food of Nanpu.
