20 Live Freshwater Clams Assorted sizes, mostly medium, dime sized.
I use the United States Postal Service. If this is an emergency, log off and dial 911.
If you live in Arizona, Utah, California, Oregon, or Washington, you should order your clams from the seller in California, due to delivery time. (I'm on the East coast)
Clams ship Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday only. This is so that they are not enroute on Sunday.
Your clams are in the river, 75 feet from my house. All clams are dug to order. If it rains too much and the river rises, I can't get clams and I shut down the listing. The river usually goes down in 2 or 3 days.
Just like at your local supermarket, live clams are kept on ice, not in water. Live clams are shipped in a net bag, just like the Fulton Fish Market ships me live Little Neck clams to eat. Clams will drown in a bag of water.
The USPS does not guarantee delivery dates. I pay for Priority Mail which is mostly a 2 day service, 3 to some places. Ice packs last 2 or 3 days, or more depending on the temperature. If your clams get delayed by the Post Office, they may die. If they die, I will ship another order.
I know where the clams are, and I know where the Post Office is. That is the extent of my knowledge. I am not a marine biologist. For all questions should be directed to google. Google: Corbicula Fluminea.
Live Asian Freshwater Clams (Corbicula Fluminea). The Asian clam is a filter feeder that removes particles from the water column. Perfect to filter fish tanks, or ponds, or to feed puffer fish. Clams like 35°F to 85°F. These clams are from West Virginia and are cold hardy. They are a non-native invasive species in West Virginia. The Chinese brought them here when they were working on the railroad. (They brought us Wineberries and Asian Pears too!) Fresh from the Bluestone River in Appalachia. Shipped Priority with reusable cold packs, a $2 value!
Wild caught. I keep less than 100 on hand. The river is in my front yard. Most orders are pulled from the river same day.
When it rains and the river gets deep, I turn off larger quantities. Message for larger orders.
