Manila Clams are indigenous to China and Russia in the North Western Pacific, but are now mostly harvested in the cold waters of the Pacific Northwest and Alaska for US distribution. Our clams are primarily sourced locally here in the Pacific Northwest because the quality is exceptional and time-to-market is fast. We are able to send out Manila clams that come out of the water the day we ship them.
