Cherrystone clams are hardshell clams with a sweet, briny, ocean flavor. Similar to their East Coast cousins, the topneck and littleneck, but their larger size tends to make them a little chewier. Cherrystones are excellent for clams casino, and good for chowder or 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.
