About
HAND PICKED CLAMS
In culinary circles, clams are prized for their subtle salty flavour and their ability to infuse this flavour into whatever they are cooked with. Our Mozambican clams are sourced from artisans who dig the clams from the mudflats by hand. These people have been harvesting and cleaning clams for generations using time tested methods. The clams are then frozen in Mozambique to lock in their salty flavour and then shipped to Greenfish.
CONTENT
2kg Clams (50-55 pieces per 2kg)
It is best to steam Clams, not boil them, for +-7 minutes. If some of the Clams do not open do not be alarmed the cold chain has been maintained since the time of harvest. The abductor muscle due to rigor mortis could have tensed up preventing the shell from opening up while steaming. Unless it does not smell right then they will be fine to consume.

Product not great
The clams did not open during the cooking process despite defrosting in the fridge overnight. A waste of money
Frozen clams
Had some clams last night. They clams were extremely small and very tough. Very disappointed as usually get superb fish etc from you.
Quick turnaround and quality products
5 stars. Friendy service and an amazing product. Will definitely use Greenfish in the future.
Clams
Very dissapointed. The majority of the clam stayed closed. Pointless order. I would remove it from your list as it reflects badly. Not sure why this is but see that others have had the same problem
First time
Flipping awesome experience. Had some of your seafood with friends on a weekend away and we tried it out. Order was easy and delivery was fast. Well done. Love what your guys are doing. Go GREEN !!!
Clams not opening
Thisnis the first time I've ordered 2x portions of clams- what a disappointment of the 20 clams prepared and cooked only 5 opened, as my guests are over 50 years old could not see the clam up close to open the clam manually, so I threw the rest of the packet away, sadly I have another full packet of 2kg in the freezer, which I'm going to discard as well as I don't want to be embarrassed again Very disappointed
Packaging Needs to Be Re-looked
Product delicious but if you call your company Green Fish, you can’t deliver it in mounds of polystyrene …

Hi V. thank you for the mail. We are very aware of the impact we have, and have worked closely to reduce our plastic and poly box usage while conforming to all the food safety protocol. Boxes delivered in our own refrigerated vehicles are cardboard, and when we have busy days and need the use of a third party we have been using poly boxes. This is a practice we are phasing out, with a new system which has already begun and looks to be working very well. Thank you for your concerns, have a wonderful day :)

Clams were delicious but unfortunately quite a few did not open!
Giorgio Locatelli and Green Fish ’s Clams??
…'Linguine alle Vongole’, for the real taste of the sea. No-brainer :)) Thanks GF for defrosting clams before delivery. I was able to use them immediately. Kept the defrost water in the bag, drained it through a coffee filter paper to remove any shell or sand bits, then added this water to the pot for cooking the pasta to enhance the flavour of the pasta. BTW, my friend Georgio recommends a quick 30 sec soak in cold salty water 'a la sea water’ to encourage the clams to spit out any sand. Easy to handle clams and totally yummy dish that salutes such beautiful clams!
very bad i fear. i googled them and then got terrified of eating them because frozen shellfish is lethal if not treated properly. i thought i was getting clam meat for some reason. i just love any wild food particularly shell fish but i made a dreadful mistake which i can ill afford being a pensioner. But i would try again if i didn't have to pay, the smaller ones are better i understand. i found some in a delicatessen i sometimes use but i am too bang to buy any more. But if you send me some i will cook them and i have a cookery column in the Daily Mail and if i live, i will write bout how to cook them. i wanted to make clam chowder.
To chowder, or not to chowder..?
Hi Greenfish :) Firstly, I was flabbergasted after ordering the frozen clams - with an image in my mind of the smaller variety - that they were so large. I was also shaky on how to defrost them… Thanks for having the ‘Help’ line, even on a weekend! I learnt that the best defrost method for any fish is to unpack and expose under a cool ar fan!! Who’d have guessed? Following my recipe for steaming them open, more than half didn’t open…! A big breath and 3 more minutes and the majority them opened. Ottelinghi says “…if they don’t open, drop them on the floor. They’ll get such a fright they’ll open. I made a ‘Pasta Vongole’, which is not so much about the clam meat, but the sauce they create while cooking - full of flavour of the sea, rich and creamy and very more-ish. Next time, 2kg’s! BTW, 1kg was a generous meal for 4 hungry peeps :))
Awesome clams
Super fast delivery and by far the best clams we have ever had
Clam Box
3rd time purchasing the clam box - so that says something! Great product and value, and wonderful service: ordered around 10h00 and received it the same day (before 5pm in the northern suburbs). Keep up the amazing work, my family's bellies thank you!
Nice Clams
I made a very tasty soup this morning. The clams were delicious! Very tasty and high quality. I definitely consider purchasing this product again the the near future.
Juicy delicious clams
I ordered 3 packs of clams in the morning and they arrived early afternoon. I made Spaghettti vongole for dinner with a pack and a half and kept the rest in the freezer. These clams are the BOMB. Perfect, juicy with a good flavour. Delicious
Excellent service and quality
The clams and octopus were excellent - have not cooked calamari yet. Service was exactly as promised- will definitely buy again
Linguine Clams a must try
Great service and super fast delivery. the clams were clean and tasted good. As this was my first time having clams and following the linguine clams recipe from fishwife.co.za I cannot be more satisfied with how it came out. A fantastic experience from order, delivery, to cooking and to the table.
Amazing delivery as usual
Next day delivery. Delivery person was so nice. Clams in superb connection and super fresh. Will not order fish or seafood from anywhere else.
Clam delight!
I love clams. The clams arrive frozen in a plastic bag, so an easy stash in the freezer. This is another mid week winner as it tastes delicious but is super quick and easy to make. I love making clam pasta with linguini. Just requires an onion, garlic, parsley and a lemon. Give it a try - I love dishes that are super simple and easy, but seem really fancy! A great way to incorporate non-red meat options into your weekly menu.
Amazing service and quality
Ordered on Greenfish for the first time, not only did I received exceptionally fast service, the quality of the clams were outstanding. Definitely will use greenfish again.
