Atlantic surf clams, Spisula solidissima, are also called hen clams. They are  appreciated for their sweet flavor and are used in a variety of dishes from chowders to sushi. Historically Maine has been at the northern edge of their range.

As one of the only hatcheries producing this species, our goal is to provide a steady supply of high quality Atlantic surf clam that aquaculturists can use to diversify their farms with if they choose.
