Soft Shell Clams

Soft shell clams are found along the province’s rich coastal regions. These clams thrive in the muddy, sandy intertidal zones where they are carefully harvested. Nova Scotia’s soft-shell clams are particularly prized for their freshness and are often enjoyed steamed, fried, or incorporated into traditional seafood dishes like chowder. Our commitment to sustainable harvesting practices helps ensure the long-term health of clam populations, supporting both local communities and the environment.
