Crown Prince Natural Smoked Baby Clams in Olive Oil, 3-Ounce Cans (Pack of 12)

Arrived quickly. Well packaged. The smoked clams are delicious!

I purchased these Crown Prince Smoked Clams from Amazon to boost the iron stores in my body. I eat them once a week, making a clam dip and eating with crackers.They do have a very strong smoke flavor (which some may like) so I rinse them in a colander before use.The clams are very delicious after the rinsing.

What a great find. Something our pantry will not be without, going forward. Extremely tender and LOVE that they are packed in water, without a lot of sodium, and are wild caught. Excellent product. Highly recommend. p.s. added benefit for me - high in iron.

These 10 smoked baby clams are good, though the can seem to be under packed.I had my first can as a snack with some wheat, thin crackers, a beer and a little hot sauce, and they were damn good!All update my view after a few more tins

I have changed my review from 5 stars to 1 star because Crown Prince changed their product from delicious to unacceptable. Amazon really should clear out the old reviews as they make it look like this product is actually worth purchasing. Crown Prince states that they could no longer get product from their Thai supplier and "The only acceptable replacement product available was from China". Crown Prince - Your current product is not acceptable in taste or texture. Worse, it is not acceptable to use China as a source of food, especially for a "high end" product such as this. Don't believe me? Google "government and regulators struggle to ensure quality of that nation's exported food" and read the article that states "The misuse and overuse of hundreds of chemicals, many of them banned and toxic, have led to death for scores and sickness in hundreds of thousands of people throughout China." and "The problem affects not only China but also the United States and other countries that import Chinese-grown and processed food."Crown Prince - Find safer waters to harvest these clams from or just shut down production.My 5 star review of the Thailand sourced clams is below:I'm a big fan of Crown Prince smoked fish and these clams do not disappoint. The can is filled with smallish clams packed in olive oil. They have a very light flavor and are delicious. Sodium is reasonably low (340 mg per package), while protein is high (16g - 32% recommended daily value) and iron is off the chart high (130%). I like that they are wild caught. Note - product comes from Thailand.

I tried these baby clams at whole foods after being disappointed with the smoked oysters in olive oil. These clams were a pleasant surprise, they have a very nice meaty texture - with no mushy, rubbery, or gritty textures. The flavor is very pleasant and they would be a perfect addition to a clam chowder soup. I just got my package in and made sure to test a can to see if they are just as good as the ones at whole foods, and these are no different, just as delicious and nutritious. The green box of smoked baby clams is very tasty and loaded with flavor, it also has good amounts of iron, zinc, and selenium. I'll be having a can every other day to keep my mineral levels up.

Make no mistake...there is a HUGE difference between Crown Prince canned clams and Crown Prince Natural Smoked canned clams. I'm pretty sure that when it comes to the nutritional powerhouse that clams just happen to be, most people either are unaware or just don't care how many key nutrients are provided by these little mollusks. One little 3 oz. tin has 130% of the iron we need in a day and although it isn't listed on the nutritional label, clams are the best source of vitamin b12 on the planet at over 1000% per serving. Certainly not recommending to eat a whole tin everyday for health but half a tin every other day(refrigerate leftovers of course) will do the body good. Simply, put some good old clams = anemia's worst enemy. Now back to how these clams packed in olive oil annihilate all other canned clams out there. Canned clams, even other Crown Prince canned clams have a knack for providing more SAND than clam. That's right, it's usually a grainy experience. But not with these CP Natural in Olive Oil. Delicious and actually does this healthy treat some justice. Being a huge fan of the CP Natural canned oysters in olive oil, I just had to try these. It's safe to say those delicious oysters have some new competition breathing down their necks(9 out of ten oysters don't have necks but you get the idea).
