An overhead, close-up view depicts a white, oval-shaped ceramic platter filled with numerous bivalve mollusks, identified as clams, prepared and served in their shells. The clams are submerged in a vibrant yellow, opaque liquid sauce, indicative of olive oil, with visible chopped green herbs (consistent with parsley) and sliced garlic cloves. Many clam shells are open or partially open. A four-tine silver-colored metal dining fork is positioned diagonally across the left portion of the platter, resting partially on the clams and partially in the sauce. A silver-colored metal dining spoon is positioned in the right portion, partially submerged in the sauce, scooping several clams and a portion of the liquid. The platter features an irregular brown/golden rim and a white interior surface with numerous small, dark speckles. It rests on an undifferentiated white surface, likely a tablecloth or tabletop. A light-colored, vertically oriented wooden object with a darker top edge is partially visible in the upper right background. The scene takes place in a city in Caminha, Portugal.
