Clam, Ruditapes philippinarum, is a marine bivalve mollusk indigenous to subtropical and temperate coastal seas of the western Pacific from the South China Sea north to the Sea of Okhotsk, as well as parts of the Indian Ocean. It is high-value seafood and is often cultured.

Clam originates from the east and south-east Asia (Indo-Pacific) where it naturally occurs on sheltered sand, sand-silt, sand-pebble, muddy gravel, and stiff clay sites in 1-10 m of water, usually below mid-tide level and in littoral lagoons and estuaries. It is distributed from the Zhuanghe River in Liaoning to the southern part of the Leizhou Peninsula in Guangdong in China; and from the south of the Okhotsk Sea, Sakhalin, and the Kuril Islands, through Japan, the Korean Peninsula, the Philippines, Pakistan, India, Sri Lanka, and Indonesia.

Clam occurs in coastal sediments from the inter-tidal zone to the shallow sub-littoral. The clam is reported as being typically found from the lower shore down but can occur on the upper shore in certain tidal regimes with prolonged high water stands.  It can succeed in both muddy and sandy substrates and is a shallow burrower, commonly found between 3 and 5 cm below the sediment surface.

In China, Clam is one of the most common seafood in coastal waters. Most clams are sold live in local markets. They are either stir-fried or used in soup. Clams are also marketed under different products – frozen using depurated clam and vacuum packed and frozen in a microwave oven-ready plastic bag.

Clam is an important shellfish both in China and in the rest of the world that is rich in nutrients, including proteins, vitamins, and essential elements and has become common in the human diet. It is famous for its thin shell, delicate meat, and delicious taste. We can supply Clam and Cooked Baby Clam Meat. It is popular in Aisa, the USA, and Caribbean.
