Wild Diamond Shell Surf Clams from New Zealand (500g)
Sustainable wild diamond shell surfer clams from New Zealand. These clams are characterized by their sweet, fresh sea spray aroma, clean ‘wild ocean’ flavor, and crisp texture. Suitable for a broad range of preparation methods. When cooked, the clam exhibits a fresh, fragrant scent of seaweed, with a rich, buttery flavor and a discreet nutty aftertaste. Each bag contains around 500g (1.1lbs) which is just a handful. The bag is resealable and the clams are individually frozen.
These clams are harvested in the clean 3-5 meter surf zone and are packed full of juicy meat, boasting a 28-35% meat to shell ratio. They are harvested using an environmentally friendly and responsible technique. Both the clams and the water are tested regularly to ensure there is no contamination.
Because these are wild clams, they do eat a variety of other smaller fish from the ocean including small shrimp, shellfish, and crustaceans. The inside of the clams may contain any of these.
