These hard shell clams are the traditional East Coast mercenaria or quahog species, with a delicious, mildly sweet flavor with a briny accent. They are 1-1/2 to 2 inches in size across the hinge (referred to as middlenecks). Cultivated and harvested by the watermen of Cedar Key, Florida, clams are quick-cooked in their shell, individually quick frozen and vacuum-sealed by the dozen in a convenient boil-in-bag. By boiling in the bag, it retains the sensational juice that can be utilized into a broth. They arrive to your doorstep frozen, convenient, and ready to be heated and served in minutes.

Cedar Key Clams Nutrition Information
Seafood ordered from Sizzlefish should be kept frozen until ready for preparation. Items can be stored frozen for up to 12 months, but are best if consumed within 6 months of purchase.
To prepare, simply boil or steam them - in the bag is easiest - for 5-6 minutes and they are ready to serve. Do not thaw them prior to cooking.
It is normal for our mussels & clams to open slightly during the freezing process. They are flash-frozen immediately after being harvested while still alive. The freezing process relaxes the muscle that keeps the shell closed. As a result, the shells may not stay tightly shut the way live mollusks do.
