Quahog Week Toolkit for Venue Participation

We are thrilled to have you on board for the 9th Annual Quahog Week! Quahog Week highlights the many restaurants, markets, fishermen, and food-based businesses committed to supporting and growing Rhode Island's local food economy, with special emphasis on quahogs. We’re looking for your participation and support in the continued effort to grow this critical sector. The Rhode Island Seafood Marketing Collaborative created the initiative in partnership with the Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management and the Rhode Island Shellfishermen’s Association.

WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU?

All participating restaurants and markets will be prominently featured on https://seafood.ri.gov/quahog-week and across RI Seafood's social media channels. Participants may also be included in media coverage of the event.

WHY IT'S IMPORTANT

Our local food system supports more than 60,000 jobs and is a key driver in attracting tourism to the Ocean State. Quahogs are plentiful in Narraganset Bay year-round, making them perfect ingredients in many recipes, including stuffies, hearty chowders, soups, various pasta dishes, and more.

Let’s work together to spread awareness of Rhode Island’s incredible seafood bounty, the talented chefs who prepare quahogs in so many scrumptious ways, and our fabulous markets that steer customers toward local Rhode Island seafood!
