Vietnamese Whole Clams | U11-16

Wild-Caught from the Pacific Sands of Vietnam

Bring the vibrant flavors of coastal Vietnam to your kitchen with our Vietnamese Whole Clams (U11-16). Sourced from the pristine Pacific sands along Vietnam’s eastern shores, these wild-caught clams are prized for their meaty, juicy texture and naturally sweet profile. Unlike many shellfish options, they have minimal "fishiness," making them a versatile choice for Asian, European, and American cuisines.

Each pack is cooked immediately after harvest, then vacuum-sealed and flash-frozen to lock in peak freshness and flavor. Because they are pre-cooked, the shells may arrive open—this is completely normal and safe. Simply thaw, reheat, and enjoy in your favorite pasta, paella, or broth.

Sourcing Story

Our Vietnamese Whole Clams are harvested year-round from the nutrient-rich waters of the Pacific Ocean. We partner with trusted fisheries that prioritize sustainable practices and immediate processing. By cooking the clams right after harvest and flash-freezing them, we ensure that the delicate sweetness and tender texture are preserved from the ocean to your table.

Freshness & Handling

Every pack is vacuum-sealed to prevent freezer burn and maintain quality. The flash-freezing process halts degradation, ensuring that when you thaw these clams, they taste as fresh as the day they were caught. We recommend keeping them frozen until you are ready to cook.
