Cherrystone Clams

Cherrystone clams are hardshell clams with a sweet, saline, oceanic flavor. They are similar to their East Coast counterparts, the topneck and littleneck, but their bigger size makes them slightly chewier. Cherrystones are great for clams casino, chowder, and pasta sauces.

• Our cherrystone clams are harvested along the Atlantic coast of New York and delivered live.
• Cherrystone clam stocks are not depleted or experiencing overfishing.
• Cherrystone, topneck, and littleneck clams are all the same species of Atlantic hard shells, or quahogs. The name refers to the size.
• The shells were once highly valued and used as currency for Native Americans.
