Keep Clam! Quahog Week is here! Join RI Seafood in “shell-ebrating” the 10th Annual Quahog Week at Newport Craft and Distillery (293 JT Connell Hwy, Newport)

This is a FREE event and is open to the public. Harvesters from the RI Shellfishermen’s Association will be shucking and serving complimentary little necks. Small bites will be provided by various RI Seafood partners.

Quahog Week (May 17-23) shines a light on our state’s favorite local clam, the hard-working men and women who harvest them, and the vibrant local food industry that makes them available to consumers.

As part of the week-long observance, venues will feature quahog-inspired specials on their menus, and participating markets will offer deals for those who enjoy cooking their own clam dishes at home.
