How many steamers per person to eat?

The number of steamers, or steamed clams, to eat per person can vary based on appetite and serving context. A typical serving size is around 1 to 2 pounds of steamers per person, which usually translates to about 20 to 40 clams. For a light appetizer, you might consider 10 to 15 clams per person. Always adjust based on the overall menu and the guests' preferences.
