At Intershell's facility in Gloucester, MA, our expert team processes the surf clams the moment they're brought in. This meticulous, local control allows us to offer you a choice: fresh clam strips, ready to be breaded and fried to a golden crisp, or flash-frozen clam strips, locking in peak freshness and flavor until you're ready to enjoy them.

Perfect for making a classic fried clam roll, a delicious seafood platter, or simply as a satisfying snack, our clam strips bring the taste of a seaside shack directly to your kitchen. With our commitment to quality and freshness from the boat to your door, you can trust you're getting the very best.

Cooking Tips

A true New England staple, clam strips are a coastal icon deeply rooted in Maritime tradition. The absolute best way and only way to cook these sweet delicacies is deep-frying them to golden perfection using Intershell's own signature seafood breading.

Deep-frying is non-negotiable here (sorry! it will not work with an Air fryer); the high heat locks in the clam’s natural juices while crisping the light, seasoned coating to perfection. Every bite delivers a rich, buttery sweetness balanced by a bright ocean brininess, giving you that plump, ridiculously juicy belly contrast you can only get from a real clam shack fry.

Check out our step-by-step recipe for the best tips on how to achieve perfectly fried clams at home.

Shipping & Handling

Frozen items are shipped with dry ice to ensure the arrive fully frozen. Please place them directly into your freezer upon arrival.

If you order fresh and frozen items together, we package your shipment using gel ice packs instead of dry ice to protect your fresh goods. As a result, frozen items may partially thaw during transit. You can safely place them straight back into your freezer, or allow them to finish defrosting and enjoy right away.

Defrosting Guidelines

Overnight in the Fridge: Small packs take 6–12 hours; large packs take 12–48 hours.
Cold Water Bowl: Submerge sealed items in cold water for a faster thaw.

Note: Do not use hot water or attempt to thaw by cooking, as this ruins the natural texture and flavor.

Clam Strips - Frozen 2 Lb

$35.00 USD

Frozen clam strips that customers praised as "delicious" and "excellent." Most shoppers loved the taste and generous portions. Fast shipping noted. One customer disappointed with small, shredded pieces lacking whole necks, finding grocery store alternatives better. Some pieces challenging to bread due to small size.

Best fried clams I ever made.
The shipping was fast and the clam strips were delicious!!!!!
I recreated the breading mixture and WOW

Frying Kit (With Breading)

Compared to everything else I've ordered from Intershell, I'm very disappointed with the clam strips I received. Not a single whole neck in the 2lb container, all shredded small pieces that were lost in the batter. Cheaper and better from the frozen food isle at my local grocery store..

Holy crap! They were excellent!
Best fried clams I ever made.
Belly clams next.
Perfect.

The shipping was fast and the clam strips were delicious!!!!!

Amazing service Awesome taste!

Lots of clam strips and so yummy .will buy again.

Everyone loved them. Some of the pieces were quite small and made it challenging to get them breaded and fried. I am curious though, if the fresh ones taste any different.

I used to be a clam chef for Howard Johnson’s restaurant in the 60s. I have fried hundreds of pounds of these. I recreated the breading mixture and WOW

The food arrived on time and the food was Delicious!

How to Choose the Right Clams

Pick your clams based on how you plan to cook them:

For fried clams: whole belly clams or clam strips.

For a steamer pot: soft shell steamers.

For raw on the half shell: small littleneck hardshell clams.

For clam chowder: chopped surf clams or large hardshells.

For pasta and linguine: littleneck clams.

For grilling or sauteing: razor clams or littlenecks.

How to Cook Clams

Clams are quick and forgiving to cook. The three most popular methods are:

Steaming

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.

Frying

Coat whole belly clams or clam strips in seafood breading and fry until golden and crisp.

Raw on the Half Shell

Serve small, very fresh littleneck clams raw with lemon and mignonette, like oysters.

Frequently Asked Questions

What kinds of clams can I buy from Intershell?

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.

What are whole belly clams?

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.

What is the difference between steamers and hardshell clams?

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.

Are your clams fresh or frozen?

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.

What are the best clams for frying?

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.

What are the best clams for clam chowder?

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.

How do I store fresh clams?

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.

How many clams per person?

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.
