**SINGLE clam orders will be in a compostable bag WITH a label. DOUBLE clam orders will be in a yellow mesh bag with a label INSIDE the bag. If you're unclear on your order check the packing list in the cooler. PLEASE don’t take a double order if you have a single order!**

Neptune’s Delight members can look forward live Manila Clams (approximately 2.5 lbs per bag) fresh from Willapa Bay, WA. Sustainable, and super fresh, these little beauties are a real treat. Click on the picture of clams for fishery info.

It’s very important to scrutinize each clam. Unlike mussels, clams live in the muddy intertidal zone (inhale the sweet scent of low tide! haha...) so check every clam, even if it takes 10 minutes, and discard any that are cracked, broken, or open (and don’t close when you tap them).

A note on prep and storage: Bring a bag – your clams are packaged in a net so that they can breathe but they may drip so bring another container.

Most of you guys will be familiar with clams but in case you are not, here are some things you need to be aware of:

1. It is impossible to guarantee 100% survival rate in the clams, so it’s necessary to go over them thoroughly before cooking. You’ll receive a generous portion to account for any dead loss.

2. Clams are alive, and open up when they die. If any of your clams are open before you cook them, tap them a few times: if they close up, they are still alive. If they do not close up they are dead and should be discarded.

3. Rinse your clams. I don’t rinse them because it shortens their shelf life, but rinsing just before cooking is a good idea.

4. As far as cooking clams, nature provided them with a built in timer for boiling or steaming. Fill up a heavy pot with a lid with about 3/4 cup of white wine (or fresh water), bring it to a boil. When the clams open up they're done. Those clams that do not open up should be discarded.

5. Put them in a bowl with the wine-clam sauce and enjoy!

AKA true cod, tonight you get to enjoy some beautiful IQF hook and line-caught pacific cod from the frozen northlands by way of F/V Artic Prowler out of Hoonah, AK. These line caught fish are handled one fish at a time, with care, for the benefit of the fishery and your supper. 

....and talk about balls of steel. These guys fish Kodiak all winter! Here's a video of some other pacific cod fishermen, just to get a taste of the work that goes into it. This is a deeply awesome fishery, and there are several reasons why I am happy to support this fishery… for one thing, these guys are pulling up true cod in 2,000 feet of water in Alaska right now, which is badass in itself and a truly sustainable alternative to typical trawling. For another, this is one of the few fish on the West Coast that's called a cod and actually is a cod! ("rock cod," lingcod and black cod are not true gadiformes). Visit the info page for more info on this tasty and sustainable slab.

Perfect for fish and chips or any "cod" recipe, it's perfect for frying but also versatile. Be sure to check out the Fishwife's true cod recipes, and let us know what you do with it - remember, our fave fish photo wins a Sea Forager oyster shucker!

IQF = Individually Quick Frozen. If what one intends to do is run a sustainable seafood company that is fully committed to high standards, one must occasionally dip into frozen supply, especially in the off-season when big swells and closed seasons are a reality. I should also add that these fish are the same quality that goes out to the top four star restaurants in the country. I am proud to support these fishermen and delighted to offer it to you. We're excited about this fish because it's so damned delicious, mouth-watering, one of the best products we've ever offered, and we know the guys who caught it. Enjoy!
