Maine Lobster Now takes tremendous pride in sourcing the highest-quality seafood products to ship them directly to our customers.

Maine Littleneck Clams are sustainably harvested in New England fresh from Wellfleet, Massachusetts, a town known for its extraordinary shellfish.

What’s the Serving Size of Maine Littleneck Clams?

Maine Littleneck Clams come 12 to an order. We recommend this serving size for one person, but they can also be served on the half-shell as a cocktail appetizer for any special occasion. They pair perfectly with our other shellfish offerings, our seafood soups and chowders, and more delicious appetizers for sale.

Nutritional Benefits of Clams

Like lobster and crab, clams are another highly nutritious shellfish packed with protein, vitamins, and minerals to help support a healthy lifestyle.

A 3 oz. serving of clams packs a whopping 22 grams of protein and just 2 grams of fat. Clams also provide a high amount of vitamins B12, which aids in brain functionality, digestion, and better sleep; vitamin C, which aids in immunity and repairing the body; and iron to support muscle repair and regulate cellular growth.

We ship out orders Monday - Friday for next-day delivery on Tuesday - Saturday, as long as the order is placed by 2PM ET. You may also schedule your seafood delivery ahead of time by choosing your desired date at checkout. Not all towns have Saturday delivery, so if you are interested in Saturday delivery, please contact our Customer Service Team by email or phone with your zip code so we can check availability. All orders scheduled to be delivered on Saturday are subject to an additional delivery fee.

All frozen packages are sealed in a reusable box with dry ice, while our fresh packages are packed with gel packs. Packages containing both frozen and fresh products will be packed with gel packs. Dry ice is not harmful to your food as CO2 is found naturally in the air we breathe, however, it can be so cold that it can burn your skin if you touch it with your bare hands. Please wear gloves when handling dry ice.

Shipping exceptions include holidays, the eve of a holiday or inclement weather. Our Customer Service Team will inform you via phone call or email if there are any issues with shipping your order out as promptly as possible.
