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 **1/2 to 2 inches in size (referred to as
littlenecks or top necks). 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. They arrive to your doorstep
frozen, convenient, and ready to be heated and served in
minutes.
