Frozen Green Willow Clam Meat
Frozen Green Willow Clam Meat is the shucked, sand-free meat of the surf clam (scientific name Mactra chinensis), widely known in Japanese cuisine as Aoyagi (青柳) and internationally as surf clam. Harvested from the clean waters of the Bohai and Yellow Seas, it is individually quick-frozen (IQF) at -35°C to preserve its sweet, briny flavor and crisp, tender bite. Sushi-grade quality makes it a favorite for sashimi, nigiri, and gunkan, while industrial grades serve hot pot, stir-fry, and value-added lines.
What Is Green Willow Clam (Surf Clam / Aoyagi)?
Green willow clam (Mactra chinensis), also called Chinese surf clam, Japanese surf clam, or Aoyagi, is a triangular-shelled bivalve prized for its firm, sweet meat. After live clams are shucked, the meat is cleaned to be completely sand-free, graded, and flash-frozen. Its clean flavor and pleasant crunch make it a staple across sushi bars and Asian seafood menus.
