Clearwater’s new offerings include MSC-certified Arctic Surf Clams, available in pre-cut and “portioned sushi-ready slices”, aimed at Japanese foodservice operators and Asian retail. “Frozen Arctic Surf Clam Sushi-Ready Slices are pre-blanched, making them ready-to-eat once thawed,” the company said.
