Beautiful littleneck clams swim in olive oil infused with confit garlic and chili pepper. Savory with a slight kick of heat and supremely tender and flavorful, these clams were farm raised on the Virginia cost by the folks at Cherrystone Aqua-Farms. We recommend saving the confit garlic clove for last, eating it when you reach the end of the tin. Bottoms up!

Further Reading:  "This humble tin of clams represents so much more than just being the first off the line from our little cannery. It represents years of farming shellfish, dreaming big, eating boatloads of conservas, and most tenderly, friendship. The clams preserved in this tin were farmed by our drinking buddies and aquaculture legends at Cherrystone Aqua-Farms in Virginia. Skip considers the crew at Cherrystone to be some of the realest and baddest MF's in the industry who not only harvest hundreds of millions of shellfish a year, but also operate their own hatchery - another rare and masochistic feat in this field. Their decades of friendship, support, and willingness to collaborate had been incredibly humbling and validating for our own, once small and scrappy, oyster farm. We are honored to present our dear friends' harvest in our very first tin." - Island Creek Oysters
