Fresh farm-raised Manila clams sold live by the pound, sourced from sustainable aquaculture operations. These small, sweet clams are prized for their tender texture and delicate flavor, making them ideal for steaming, pasta dishes, and seafood soups. Manila clams are typically smaller than littleneck clams with striped, mottled brown, beige, and gray shells. They should be kept refrigerated and cooked while still alive for optimal freshness and food safety. Farm-raised clams offer a more sustainable alternative to wild-caught varieties while maintaining consistent quality and size.
