Intershell brings you the finest wild-caught monkfish tails, a truly special and delicious seafood experience. Often called the "poor man's lobster," monkfish is prized for its firm, dense, and sweet white meat. Its texture and flavor are remarkably similar to lobster, making it a fantastic and often more affordable alternative for your favorite recipes.
Fresh Whole Monk Tails deliver exceptional quality direct from day-boat harvests. Harvested offloaded right at the dock, these wild-caught tails are cleaned, prepped, and packed fresh to preserve peak firmness, moisture, and sea-sweet flavor.
When seafood buyers and home cooks purchase whole bone-in monkfish tails, they are getting one of the prized centerpieces of coastal seafood cooking. Unlike traditional fish with fine, sharp pin bones scattered throughout the meat, a monkfish tail features only a single central spine (cartilaginous backbone) running down the middle. The bone helps to retain moisture during cooking, ensuring the meat stays incredibly tender and juicy. This makes the tails perfect for roasting, grilling, or even slow-cooking, as the bone imparts a deeper flavor to the surrounding meat. When cooked, the meat is easy to remove from the central bone, giving you beautiful, firm pieces of fish.
Pan-Seared Medallions: Filleted off the bone, cut into thick rounds, and seared in garlic-butter.
Whole Oven-Roasted: Seasoned whole on the bone, seared in a skillet, and roasted at 400°F (200°C) for 20–25 minutes.
Chargrilled / Barbecued: Marinated whole on the bone and grilled 5–7 minutes per side for a charred exterior and tender center.
Rustic Seafood Stews: Chopped straight through the bone into thick steaks and simmered in wine, tomato, and garlic broth.
All fresh seafood ships via overnight delivery in insulated packaging with gel ice packs to ensure it arrives properly chilled and at peak freshness.
Upon delivery, transfer your seafood immediately to the coldest part of your refrigerator and consume within 1 to 2 days for optimal quality and flavor.

Few foods say New England like fresh clams. From a bucket of steamers with drawn butter to a plate of golden fried whole bellies, clams are versatile, quick to cook, and full of sweet ocean flavor. Their taste and texture vary by type, size, and how they are harvested.
Intershell offers clams for frying, steaming, raw bars, chowder, pasta, and more. Choose the right clam for your dish below, then check each product page for current size, origin, and availability.

Clams are quick and forgiving to cook. The three most popular methods are:
Steam soft shell steamers or littlenecks in a little water, wine, or broth for 5 to 10 minutes, until the shells open. Discard any that stay shut.
Coat whole belly clams or clam strips in seafood breading and fry until golden and crisp.
Serve small, very fresh littleneck clams raw with lemon and mignonette, like oysters.
For a full walkthrough on buying, storing, and preparing hardshell clams, see our clam guide, and browse more shellfish recipes.
Classic ways to enjoy clams include New England clam chowder, crispy fried whole belly clams, a steaming pot of steamers with butter, baked stuffed clams, linguine with clams, and clams added to a seafood boil alongside mussels.
We carry whole belly frying clams, soft shell steamers, hardshell littleneck clams, razor clams, and Atlantic surf clams, plus prepared clam favorites like stuffed clams, clam pie, clam strips, and chowder. The exact selection changes with the season and harvest.
Whole belly clams are shucked clams with the soft belly left intact, the New England style used for classic fried clams. They are prized for their sweet, briny flavor and tender, juicy texture, and are available fresh or frozen.
Steamers are soft shell clams with thin, brittle shells and tender meat, best for steaming. Hardshell clams, or quahogs, have thick shells and firmer meat, and include littlenecks and cherrystones used raw, steamed, or in chowder.
We offer both. Live and fresh clams are shipped cold for the best flavor, while frozen options such as whole belly clams, chopped clams, and clam strips are convenient to keep on hand. Each product page lists whether it is fresh, live, or frozen.
Whole belly clams are the top choice for classic fried clams, and clam strips are a great option too. Coat them in seafood breading and fry until golden for the true clam shack experience at home.
Chopped surf clams and larger hardshell clams are ideal for chowder because of their bold flavor and meaty texture. A clam chowder kit makes it even easier.
Keep live clams in the refrigerator in an open container covered with a damp cloth so they can breathe, and use them within a day or two. Do not store them sealed in plastic or submerged in fresh water.
As a main course, plan on about 1 pound of steamers or 6 to 8 littleneck clams per person, and adjust up for bigger appetites or a mixed seafood spread.
