HI- first get yourself a mallet, Tenderize them after shucking, Not to hard but make sure you give them several good whacks. They are good sashimi if you like it that way with wasabi and light soy. Cooking whole on the BBQ or pan for about four minutes a side like a rare steak, Season with a bit of sesame oil, chillies, spring onions and sweet soy, slice fairly thin and serve with some Bok Choi and rice. Mixing them in with your Favorite chicken, beef or lamb stir fry works well ;DI prefer Green lip to brown lip but that may be me
