Cherrystone Clams

Description

Cherrystone Clams harvested from the cold, clean waters of New England, are the perfect balance of briny and sweet, with a firm, juicy bite. Larger than littlenecks, they’re ideal for baking, stuffing, grilling, or serving raw on the half shell. Freshly harvested and packed for flavor—great for clam lovers and seafood feasts. Known for their larger size, rich salinity, and dense, meaty texture, these clams offer a bold bite and a classic taste of the Atlantic. Their palm-sized, hard shells encase firm, juicy meat that delivers the perfect balance of briny, slightly sweet flavor with a satisfying chew.

Sitting between littlenecks and quahogs in size, Cherrystones are wonderfully versatile—large enough to stand up to heat, yet tender enough to enjoy raw. Whether you’re preparing a pot of New England clam chowder, a tray of clams casino, or stuffing them with herbed breadcrumbs for classic baked clams, these mollusks bring flavor and texture that hold their own in any recipe.

We source our fresh Cherrystone Clams directly from small, responsible fisheries in coastal New England—where icy waters and nutrient-rich estuaries help develop their signature flavor. Packed and shipped live to preserve peak freshness, our Cherrystones are ideal for raw bars, seafood boils, and hearty coastal dishes.
