QW Banner

Sunday, May 11 to Saturday, May 17

Quahog Week highlights the many restaurants, markets, harvesters, and food-based businesses committed to growing Rhode Island's local food economy, with special emphasis on wild harvest clams. Restaurants and markets across Rhode Island will celebrate this sustainable resource and its year-round availability by featuring a quahog dish or special on their menu during the week.

Quahog Week shines a light on our state's favorite local clam, the hard-working men and women who harvest them, and the vibrant local food industry that makes them available to consumers. Quahogging has a rich local history, supporting the livelihoods of hundreds of Rhode Islanders year-round and serving as a treasured pastime for Rhode Island families who enjoy digging their own. Demand for these delicious local clams swells in the summer months due largely to the popularity of fresh-shucked littlenecks, clam cakes, and stuffies. But they also make the perfect fare for chowders, pasta, and other dishes year-round.

Quahog and Green Garlic Pot Pie: A mashup of a stuffy and a pot pie. Quahogs steamed then picked and chopped mixed with sautéed fennel, green garlic, shallots, spinach, and herbs. Then bathed in a buttermilk reduction and stuffed back in the shell and topped with a green garlic pie crust. Baked to perfection.
