Hokkigai - Arctic Surf Clam
Hokkigai - Arctic Surf Clam
Discover the exquisite flavor and delicate texture of Clearwater's premium 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.
This 2.2lb bag is pre-blanched and individually quick-frozen (IQF) for your convenience. Simply thaw and serve, whether you're creating a platter of nigiri, a vibrant poke bowl, or a delicate clam salad.

Preparation Tips
Preparation Tips
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
