Types of New England Clams
Hard Shell Clams
- Sea Clams: At around four inches in diameter, these clams
are too large to eat whole. There is a strip around the belly
that is taken off, cooked, and eaten separately. This is
where we get the term, Stripped Clams.
- Quahogs: Pronounced "co-hogs." These smaller clams,
around 3 inches wide, are great when chopped for soups
or stuffings.
- Cherrystones: Because of their small size, around 2.5
inches wide, they can be eaten raw on a half shell or can be
used in cooking.
- Littlenecks: These clams are the smallest and youngest of
the hard shell clams. At less than 2 inches across they are
the easiest to eat raw.
Soft Shell Clams
Soft shell clams are more commonly known as steamers. Because they do have a softer shell, they are opened easier than the hard shell clams. They generally are between 1 and 3 inches wide, and the smaller size is favored most for cooking.
