Countneck 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 countneck clams are harvested along the Atlantic coast from Maine to New York and delivered live.
Countneck clam stocks aren't depleted or experiencing overfishing.
Countneck clams are excellent served raw.
Cherrystone, topneck, littleneck, and countneck 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.
