Scrub the clams and rinse them in four rounds of cold water to remove any sand and grit.
Prepare the grill for direct cooking over medium–high heat (200°C to 260°C).
In a wok or 30 centimetre cast-iron skillet over direct medium–high heat, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter. Add the shallot and garlic and cook until fragrant and tender, about 1 minute, stirring often. Add the wine and cook for about 1 minute more. Add the clams and cook over direct medium–high heat, with the lid closed, until the clams open wide, 5 to 10 minutes, stirring every few minutes. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter, the parsley and season with pepper. Toast the bread over direct heat, about 1 minute, turning once.
