Where it's from: Cape Charles, VA; New Bedford, MA

Producer: Island Creek

The clams are supremely tender and flavorful with a perfect balance of salt and heat from the chili de árbol. We recommend saving the confit garlic clove for last, eating it when you reach the end of the tin like the worm in a tequila bottle. Bottoms up!

Ingredients: Littleneck clams, garlic, chili de árbol, salt

What you get: One 4.2oz (120g) tin

This is not only the VERY FIRST TIN to roll out of our New Bedford cannery, but one that is entirely produced in the USA using 100% traceable product, and that is canned in the European craft style, all by hand. A rarity in the seafood industry as a whole, and certainly in the USA.

How to Eat it: Spread the jammy confit garlic clove on a piece of toast before topping with clams. Maybe pair it with some vinegary pickled dilly beans or peppers. Or pour the whole tin over fresh pasta with a squeeze of lemon. Good luck pacing yourself with this one.
