Keep Clam! Quahog Week is here!

Tomorrow, May 11th marks the start of our 8th Annual Quahog Week! Quahog Week shines a light on our state's favorite local clam, the hard-working men and women who harvest them, and the vibrant local food industry that makes them available to consumers. Quahogging has a rich local history, supporting the livelihoods of more than 500 Rhode Island fishermen year-round and serving as a treasured pastime for Rhode Island families.


Demand for these delicious local clams swells in the summer months due largely to the popularity of fresh-shucked littlenecks, clam cakes, and stuffies; but they also make the perfect fare for chowders, pasta, and other dishes year-round.


We have 60+ participating venues who will be running Quahog specials during the week!

Quahog Week highlights the many restaurants, markets, fishermen, and food-based businesses committed to growing Rhode Island's local food economy, with special emphasis on wild harvest clams. Restaurants and markets across Rhode Island will celebrate this sustainable resource and its year-round availability by featuring a quahog dish on their menu.


Join RI Seafood for a week full of clams, and follow along for recipes, your favorite restaurants featuring specials, and markets! Additional information can be found here.
