Littleneck clams are the smallest of the hardshell clams with a mild, briny ocean flavor and very tender flesh. Similar to their East Coast cousins, cherrystone and topneck, but a smaller size that is slightly mellower and sweeter.

Our littleneck clams are harvested along the Atlantic coast from Maine to Florida and delivered live.
They are named after Little Neck Bay on Long Island.
Littleneck clam stocks aren't depleted or experiencing overfishing.
Littleneck clams are excellent served raw.
Cherrystone, topneck, and littleneck clams are all the same species of Atlantic hard shells or quahogs. The name refers to the size.
The colorful shells were once highly valued and used as currency for Native Americans.
