Clams

Quahogs, or hard-shell clams, are shellfish that inhabit the mud flats along the eastern seaboard from Canada to Florida. These big guys are also called chowder clams and weigh in at a mighty 2-3 clams per pound.
  

Cherry stone is a half-grown quahog. It can be eaten raw or cooked. You'd get 6-11 cherry stone clams per pound.

    


The geoduck clam ("gooey duck") is a giant clam found in salt water around the coasts of the Pacific Northwest, mainly Washington State and British Columbia. The average weight of an adult fresh geoduck clam is 2 pounds.
