Originating from coastal regions with clean, sandy seabeds, Razor Clams are primarily found in North America and Europe. In the United States, they can be found along the Atlantic coast, from the southern shores of New England to the northern parts of Florida, while in Europe, they are commonly harvested along the Iberian Peninsula, the United Kingdom, and Ireland. Our Razor Clams are meticulously handpicked from the most sustainable sources, ensuring not only their quality but also their minimal impact on the environment.

Razor Clams have a rich history dating back centuries, with evidence of their consumption in Native American communities as well as across European cultures. Revered as a delicious and nutritious staple, these marine bivalves were not only a reliable food source but also served as currency in some Indigenous communities. Today, Razor Clams are increasingly popular in fine dining restaurants around the world, showcasing their elegant versatility in numerous culinary creations.

The production of Razor Clams involves several delicate steps, beginning with carefully harvesting them from their sandy habitats during low tide periods. As nocturnal animals, they are most accessible during nighttime or early dawn. Once collected, the clams are purged in seawater to remove sand and grit, followed by a meticulous cleaning and packaging process to maintain their freshness and delectable taste.

When it comes to the flavor profile, Razor Clams boast a sweet, tender, and succulent taste with a delicate hint of briny flavors. They have a unique, firm texture compared to other types of clams, which further enhances the overall culinary experience. The alluring combination of taste and texture makes them an excellent choice for seafood enthusiasts and professional chefs alike.

In terms of culinary uses, Razor Clams offer endless possibilities. They are commonly featured in traditional European dishes such as Spanish 'almejas a la marinera' or Italian 'vongole' pasta, or even served as a stand-alone entrée with butter, garlic, and a splash of white wine. These versatile mollusks can be sliced and added to chowders, grilled on a barbecue, or combined with other shellfish to create a delectable seafood medley. Razor Clams also perfectly complement Asian dishes, and can be steamed with ginger, scallions, and a drizzle of soy sauce, or stir-fried with a variety of vegetables and flavors.
