I come from an a place that has beautiful fresh water lakes but is very far from a sea coast. Getting fresh shellfish can be a challenge at times - would you recommend using frozen clams? Or canned clams? or just abandon the recipe for something else delicious and freshly available?

Idk about substitutions, but there are some great online retailers of shellfish that ship overnight across the US. I’ve had great experiences with both Oysterman’s Daughter (aka Copps Island Oysters) & Island Creek Oysters. It does makes this meal a bit pricier and more involved than if you lived coastal, but could be worth it for a special occasion.
I'm in the middle of Canada and I really haven't been able to find anyone doing shellfish deliveries at all... I'm open to being wrong though haha - thanks for the recommendation. I'll keep hunting around and hopefully find some!
🇨🇦 prairie lady here! Canned clams are awesome in linguine. Traditionally I’d use 2 small cans of clams including juice in a tomato linguine dish. I’m no chef, but you likely could sub the fresh clams for canned here. They’re wonderful and you’ll get more of them too.

I vote for skipping the recipe rather than using canned, but I’m fortunate to live on the west coast. Or use frozen shrimp.
