We care about the environment, and our approach to harvesting clams in the cool, clear waters maximizes sustainability for the fishery.

Add in red onion, bell pepper and top with bacon before grilling in the oven. It doesn't get much better than this!

Step 6 - Make sure any juvenile clams, other shellfish species and seaweed gets put back into ocean. We'll be back to harvest these clams in about 3 years when they've grown.
