After the end of my transaction, I was confused to why everything was $52 but I didn’t investigate further until I got home. I looked at my receipt and these bad boys were $21.99…
Worth it if somebody that’s never had canned clams? Or should I take it back?

That’s a pricey tin but if it was already in my house I’d be eating it!
fucking r i p nonetheless. At least from a returns perspectice it wouldn’t be too bad.
Not worth it imo, just eat it
I’d make a stink for $20
$20-something dollars is pretty much what this tin MSRPs for. They’re honestly incredible Littleneck Clams done in the European style with a nice olive oil, some garlic, and chili. The oil itself is liquid gold. Yes, it’s a more expensive tin. But I think this is one great example of you get what you pay for.
They are delicious. Up to you if you think that price is worth it though. I lightly lightly toasted up some sourdough and ate it with it. My wife is definitely not a canned fish person and she was shocked and couldn’t stop eating it too. The oil is great soaked up into some good bread.
$176/lb for clams seems a little steep. Lol. Y’all crazy
Can’t think of a single tin I would pay even close to that for.
Pay attention when things are ringing up and know your local laws/store policies. Many places have laws and/or policies requiring the store to honor the displayed price.
Definitely worth $0.67. Get 2.
These are expensive but they’re absolutely my favorite tin.
You really thought you were about to walk out of the store with this bad boy for $0.67?!
Take it back. Jesus.
I see myself opening and heating up two cans of Bar Harbor Clam Chowder and adding in these clams and a bit of the oil, stirring gently while heating, and enjoying a lazy man’s dinner with some crusty French bread. A bit expensive, but easier than going out
These little neck clams are like butter. Delish.
I am usually a “mid shelf” buyer but if I saw these at a store near me, I’d make an effort to budget for them on occasion. Island Creek does a lot of work to educate and try to help improve food systems and ecosystems. Coincidentally, I just saw this video which was cool to learn about more of their company’s work https://youtu.be/FB3YW917b80
I’m newer fan of their tins, so I’m still learning about them. The quality is great so far and I really dig what they’re about when it comes to education and passion! https://shop.islandcreekoysters.com/pages/about-us-1
