Discover the exquisite flavor and delicate texture of Clearwater's premium frozen Hokkigai, also known as Arctic Surf Clams. Sustainably harvested from the cold, pristine waters of the Canadian North Atlantic, these clams are a true delicacy, celebrated for their superior quality and exceptional ocean-fresh taste.

Hokkigai is a staple in high-end sushi restaurants across the globe, and for good reason. Its bright, beautiful rose-red and white clam "tongue" adds a stunning visual pop to any plate. But it's the flavor and texture that truly make it a favorite among chefs and connoisseurs:

  • Sweet and Delicate: The clams boast a mild, naturally sweet flavor that melts in your mouth, perfectly complementing the subtle flavors of sushi rice and wasabi.
  • Ideal Texture: Unlike many other clams, Hokkigai has a firm yet tender, almost crunchy texture that is highly prized for raw preparations like sushi and sashimi.
  • Sushi-Grade Perfection: Clearwater's Hokkigai are flash-frozen at sea within an hour of harvest, a process that locks in unbeatable freshness, flavor, and texture, making them the perfect sushi-grade ingredient.
  • Wild or Farmed: Wild
  • Availability: Year Round
  • Package Size: 2 kg
  • Form: Frozen, IQF, pre-cooked
  • Brand: Clearwater
  • Harvest Area: Canada
  • Scientific Name: Mactromeris polynyma

For best results, thaw overnight in the refrigerator or in a sealed bag submerged in cold water for 30 minutes. Avoid microwaving or refreezing. To prepare for sushi or sashimi, simply slice the clam in half. For other applications, consider slicing or julienning. If adding to hot dishes, ensure it's only for the last minute of cooking to prevent overcooking and a chewy texture

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

  1. Overnight in the Fridge: Small packs take 6–12 hours; large packs take 12–48 hours.
  2. 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.
