Introduction to Arctic clams

Sakhalin Makka clam (scientific name: Pseudocardium sachalinense), also known as northern clam, arctic clam, and basil clam. A type of shellfish from the Makidae family, it is one of the important edible shellfish in Japan and nearby countries. It is a representative product of Soma City, Fukushima Prefecture, and is also listed as the city shellfish of Tomakomai City, Hokkaido. As an aquatic product, it is often called Hokki scallop. The name comes from "ポキセイ" in the Ainu language of Hokkaido dialect. Hokki scallops mainly live in the subtidal zone of northern Japan and the eastern coast of the Korean Peninsula in waters with a water depth of 12 meters (39 feet). Because they are the main economic shellfish in nearby countries, they are heavily fished, and their numbers have declined sharply. In the 1990s, Japan began to study the artificial cultivation technology of Arctic clams. Domestic merchants like to remove the shells and leave the bright red feet, sell them under the trade name of "Arctic clams", and promote the natural environment that they are produced in the cold waters of the North Atlantic. Arctic clams have bright colors (red, orange, white), delicious taste, and crispy meat. They are rich in protein and unsaturated fatty acids (DHA), making them the best seafood. Arctic clams are processed, boiled and flash-frozen on the fishing boat 45 minutes after being caught. Therefore, they only need to be naturally defrosted before eating, which is safe, hygienic and convenient. Arctic clams can be used to make sashimi, sushi, salad, hot pot and other dishes, and can be fried, steamed, grilled, braised or stewed. Also great in salads, sushi, pasta, appetizers and other fresh ingredients. Arctic clams are low in fat, delicious and have high nutritional value. They are rich in iron and contain OMEGA 3 and STERESTEROL that can suppress cholesterol. Since 2011, Arctic clams have been selected by many Beijing restaurants and restaurants; in the future, they will also enter supermarkets and become a purely natural delicacy that ordinary people can taste.
