CHOPPED CLAMS

Chilantic Chopped Clams are harvested and shucked at sea, then brought back to our facility in Virginia, where they are closely inspected, washed, chopped, weighed, packed and blast frozen upon arrival. We blend a variety of surf clams and their juices to create a unique finished product that enhances taste with a wide range of applications. Our pack centers around the Atlantic Surf Clam; a type of clam regarded for its excellent flavor and tenderness and is topped off with our own formulated natural clam juice, instead of water, for a robust flavor. In addition to our 5 lb. foodservice pillow pack, we also offer a 1 lb. retail tub which makes for a convenient alternative and/or compliment option for supermarkets and stores. Our container consists of everything you need to put it on your shelf; a UPC, tamper-resistant lid, nutritional and ingredient statement, and a recipe and cooking instructions that produces a terrific tasting New England clam chowder.

Chilantic's clams are sourced only from federal government approved waters and are a proud product of USA. Thanks to a rigorous cleaning process and tightly controlled fishing areas, our pack is free from sand, shell, starfish, sponges and other foreign material occasionally found in many other packs. Chilantic's Clams stand out from other brands thanks to its bold appearance and taste. Consisting of only premium clams, Chilantic's are the cleanest available and are perfect for chowders, fritters, and many other applications.
