Cloudy Bay Clams is a family business, owned and operated by the Piper family who, having grown up in the Marlborough Sounds at the North of the South Island of New Zealand, are as committed to their beloved region as they are to the surf clams they harvest. Using the most sustainable clam fishing method, they have zero impact on the environment, zero mortality in their catch and zero by-catch. This unique fishery produces a truly unique clam.
Our shellfish are exported blanched (both chilled and frozen) and live, still within their shells to maximise their flavour and freshness. Our harvesting techniques have developed, due to our extensive research on the process, to ensure Cloudy Bay surf clams reach the market in perfect condition. Cloudy Bay’s top quality New Zealand surf clams provide a unique dining experience that is valued worldwide.
Cloudy Bay has successfully undergone both their fishery and chain of custody audits and now carry ‘Friend of the Sea’, an international sustainability seal of approval, for our surf clams.
