This convenient and ready-to-use clam format adds variety and visual appeal to any sushi or sashimi dish. Simply place a sushi-ready slice on rice or serve on its own sashimi style for the ultimate in convenience.

NEW! Clearwater Chopped Wild Arctic Surf Canned Clams
Clearwater Wild Arctic Surf Canned Clams are packed in 100 per cent pure, premium clam juice, locking in incredible ocean freshness and delivering a sweet taste. Their unique coloring, combined with large pieces add visual appeal to any clam recipe or dish, especially soups and chowders.

NEW! Rock Crab Claws
Clearwater's Rock Crab Claws are sweet and full with delicate white meat, offering a true shellfish delicacy. Wild-caught from the cold, clear waters surrounding the United Kingdom, Rock Crab Claws are an ideal sustainable menu option, originating from a well-managed and healthy fishery. Available in a pre-cooked frozen format, Rock Crab Claws are best served cold or gently warmed by steaming or poaching in salted water for two minutes.

NEW! Norway Lobster
Prized for its delicate flesh and sweet, succulent taste, Norway Lobster originates from the cold, clear waters surrounding the United Kingdom. This Scottish delicacy is gaining popularity across restaurants throughout North America and is now available in a variety of different formats, including Shell-on Tails, Hand-peeled, Deveined Shell-off Tails and Tail Clusters. The culinary versatility and elegant flavor of Norway Lobster make it an excellent substitute for North Atlantic Lobster and Shrimp, especially in seafood pasta dishes, soups and chowders, and as a protein topper.

About Clearwater Arctic Surf Clams
Wild-caught from the cold, clear waters of the Canadian North Atlantic, Arctic Surf Clams (mactromeris polynyma) are sustainably harvested from the healthy Canadian fishery by Clearwater-owned and operated vessels. The Arctic Surf Clam fishery is Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) certified, the world's gold standard in third-party independent certifications for sustainable fisheries.

Arctic Surf Clams are blanched and individually-quick-frozen (IQF) onboard Clearwater's vessels within an hour of harvesting. After arriving at Clearwater's processing facility, clams are sorted, size graded and rigorously quality control tested before being packaged in a variety of formats. Clearwater is the primary global provider of Arctic Surf Clams.
