Whole Belly Clam Seafood Frying Kit
Whole Belly Clam Seafood Frying Kit
Experience the delicious taste of our fresh frying clams anytime with Intershell's Frozen Whole Belly Frying Clams! These are the same top-selling clams our customers love, now available for you to enjoy whenever a craving strikes.
Each clam is hand-scratched by local clam diggers, hand-shucked at our facility, and then immediately flash frozen, ensuring the highest quality from start to finish. Each clam is hand-shucked and sorted by size. The clam meat is carefully cleaned in water to remove all traces of sand and grit. This means they are ready to be breaded and fried straight out of the package. You can trust that our commitment to quality, from the diggers to your dinner plate, results in a truly unforgettable seafood experience.
The whole belly of each clam offers an incredibly tender and juicy texture when fried, creating a truly unforgettable seafood experience. But don't just take our word for it—our customer reviews speak for themselves, with countless people raving about the fresh taste and premium quality.

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the small (select) and the large (regular) size clams?
- The small clams are around 2 - 2.5 inches long and the large size clams are 3 - 3.5 inches long. They are the exact same clam harvested from the same areas, it is only the size of the clam that makes them different. The large clams also have larger bellies.
Is there a taste difference between the two sizes?
- There is no difference in taste between the two sizes, but most people do say the larger size clams have more flavor due to the larger size bellies.
Are the clams supposed to be “chewy?”
- No, they absolutely are not supposed to be, it does not matter which size. If you find the clams to be “chewy,” then that means they are overcooked. These clams cook very fast, so you want to keep an eye on them.
Which size is the most popular?
- Our online customers have been LOVING the large size clams, the majority of our customers are New England natives that have moved to other parts of the USA who miss and love their fried clams. Our wholesale customers (Intershell’s customers & seafood companies that distribute to restaurants) prefer the smaller size clams. It all comes down to personal preference.
It is my first time eating whole belly clams, which size should I get?
- If it is your first time trying our whole belly clams, we recommend trying the smaller size first. The smaller size clams have smaller bellies which makes the flavor on the more mild side, people who prefer mild flavors for their seafood find them easier to eat. We include recipe cards with cooking directions in all whole belly frying clam orders, we also have it on our website too which you can download and print at your convenience.
I want to fry the clams at home, do you also sell breading?
- Yes, we have seafood breading available to purchase. The owner has used this specific breading for the last 30 years for all of his frying needs and swears by it! We also sell the frozen frying clams and our seafood breading as a pair which you can buy at a discount. The frozen frying clams and seafood breading are also sold separately.
Do you have fresh whole belly clams available in both sizes?
- Yes, we have frozen frying clams available. They are packed in a 4 Lb. container. For more information about our fresh frying clams, click here to view the product description & FAQ’s.
What is the best way to defrost the frozen whole belly frying clams?
- To defrost, just put the container in your refrigerator and allow 24-48 hours. When defrosting, you want to let them defrost as slow as possible in a cooled environment to get the best results. Do NOT rush the defrosting process by running the container under hot water as this will affect the quality and texture of the clams. Clams are very sensitive to heat and will discolor if you do so.
Can I refreeze the clams that I do not eat?
- We do not recommend refreezing the clams after they have been defrosted. Once they are defrosted, they should be eaten within 6 days, so invite some friends to help you eat them if you have to! We recommend buying our fresh whole belly frying clams if you are not able to eat 2 Lb at once because you can always portion and freeze the clams you do not eat, this is usually the better option for individual households.

best clams ever can’t eat it all just peal off thawed one to eat freezer the rest
Perfection big belly and delicious
I was so glad to have found a place where I can buy whole belly clams, the quality and taste is perfect. I have bought the frozen clams multiple times and they arrive frozen and have always been perfect. Such a treat, the whole family enjoys them
Brought up on clam bakes and we would go and dig our own clams. Moved from New England years ago but never could find fried belly clams until I found you on the internet. The clams are everything I expect fried clams to be. Still have one left. We I finish those I will order again.
Awesome clams can't ask for any better thank you very much
