Hokkigai surf clams are renowned as a luxurious delicacy in Japanese cuisine and are a favorite among sushi lovers. However, the highest quality Hokkigai—celebrated for its freshness, rich nutrition, and superior taste—comes from the deep offshore waters of the North Atlantic. Among these, Canada stands as the world’s leading exporter of surf clams, with Japan alone consuming approximately 4,000 tons annually.

Canadian Hokkigai boasts a rich, milky sweetness and firm, chewy texture. The clams are carefully sorted, graded, and flash-frozen at sea immediately after harvest, ensuring 100% natural quality with no chemicals added. Only those clams that meet the strict quality standards set by fishing authorities are selected for market distribution, ensuring a consistently premium dining experience for customers.

THE NUTRITIONAL VALUE OF HOKKIGAI SURF CLAMS EXCEEDS EVEN BEEF AND MANY OTHER SEAFOOD TYPES.

Hokkigai contains an exceptional amount of iron—surpassing even that found in a T-bone steak. Additionally, it is rich in trace minerals such as phosphorus, potassium, zinc, manganese, and particularly selenium, a rare nutrient in everyday food that acts as a powerful antioxidant and supports thyroid health.
