CLAMS-1 LB. Fresh Maine Live Clams

Clam orders are by the pound, ~ 8-12 clams each order.

The waters of Maine are renowned as cold, healthy and clean. Maine waters produce some of the best seafood and shellfish in the world. Our clams are no exception. They are locally, freshly harvested by the local Maine families along the Maine coast in the many 100's of small fishing villages and harbors.

Each clam is hand dug by the clammers from the organic mud flats of Maine. The "clammers" work the tides, following the tide out and working their way back on the incoming tide, every six hours. It is hard back braking work has the lean over with their rack overturning a large clump of mud and picking out the properly sized clams. The clammers also help sustain the clam population by seeding many healthy clam flats in each area. Each clammer obtains a special license which allows them to clam in their community. Licenses are limited to a certain level to help limit overfishing any specific area.

Maine clams are considered "soft shelled" and are names "steamer" since they are perfect for steaming and served alongside a typical lobster shore dinner. They are awesome and freshly dug every day.

Fresh Maine Clams – Hand-Harvested from Pristine Tidal Flats
