Fred Emery
FV Sarah Jean
HARDSHELL CLAMS
Where’s the Clam Guy? Ask most anyone at Fishermen’s Dock, and they’ll point you to the F/V Sarah Jean, over in the corner of South Dock. The hard clams Fred Emery brings up from the state-approved clear waters of Fishers Island Sound are in season year-round, so if the boat’s not there, Fred’s likely out clamming.
Come back to the dock about 4:00 PM when Fred’s unloading. Wild caught Chowder Quahogs, CherryStones, TopNecks and LittleNecks may all be in the day’s haul, and you can buy right there. Cash or check sales only. You’ll want to contact Fred first to see when he’s going out.
Contact Fred at Clamguy7@gmail.com or 860-381-9052.
