Introduced by settlers to Vancouver Island and further developed as a clam fishery by middle of the 20th century, now farmed manila clams are the gourmet clam of the Pacific coast. Their multicolor patterns and thin shell allow for quick preparation and delightful presentation. Ideal ingredient in pasta dishes, chowders, soups, or as main dish steamed, our live manila clams are as delicious as versatile. Ideal for restaurant’s menus, retailer’s seafood counter and live clam wholesalers.
