Razor clam, scientific name is Constricted razor clam, is a mollusc and a bivalve shellfish of the order Clams. It lives in the ocean and is a common seafood ingredient. The shell is brittle and thin, and is oblong and square in shape. From the top of the shell to the ventral edge, there is a diagonal groove, hence its name. There are many tidal flats along the coast of Ningbo, which has unique advantages for cultivating razor clams, which are a specialty of Ningbo Dazhong Sea. The Ninghai Long Street area faces Sanmen Bay and has a large amount of fresh water injected all year round. The sea water is suitable for saltiness, the bait is rich, and the coating is made of sand. Mainly, razor clams grow quickly, are large in size, have tender and fat meat, are white in color and taste delicious, so they are named Changjie razor clams.

Razor clams are suitable for growing near estuaries with low sea water salinity and in soft mud flats in inner bays. When cultivating razor clams, you should choose a bay or a flat beach with calm waves and smooth tides, often with fresh water injected into it. The bottom material should be muddy or muddy with a little sand. Sow seedlings in the beginning of spring before and after Qingming Festival. Generally, artificial breeding can be harvested in about 8 months (the average number is about 80 per kilogram at this time). If it is natural breeding, it will take about 9 to 10 months, and the number will be about 100 per kilogram. According to the length of breeding time, razor clams are divided into one-year razor clams, two-year razor clams and three-year razor clams.
