Razor Clam

The Scottish Razor Clam (Ensis ensis / Ensis siliqua) is fished in various locations all around the Scottish coast. The razor clams are hand caught by divers who swim down to the seabed to collect them. This is a sustainable and environmentally friendly form of fishing which has a minimal impact on the surrounding marine environment.

As the razor clams are hand caught, they contain no sand and are of a high quality. As they are not stressed by the fishing method, they can often survive 3/4 days or more after arrival at destination. After the razor clams have been caught, they are transported to the factory and packed in 1Kg bundles and wrapped in paper. 22 bundles are carefully placed inside each box and it is then conditioned a minimum of 2Kg of cool packs.

The main sizes available are Large (less than 10 pieces/Kg and more than 7.5 inches in length) and Medium (11-16 pieces/Kg, between 6.5-7.5 inches in length). The razor Clams are packed in 22Kg polystyrene boxes. There is an absorbent pad on the bottom of the box.
