Clam

Overview

Clam is a shellfish found in ocean zones in Starsand Island. Unlike most ocean catches, Clams are not a standard rod-and-reel fish. They can be obtained through ocean fishing as an incidental catch alongside regular fish. Clams serve primarily as a cooking ingredient and contribute to your Islandpedia stamp collection under the Aquatic Life category.

Catch Details

Clams are available year-round and are not restricted by weather or time of day, making them one of the easiest ocean catches to collect. Any type of bait works for attracting Clams, so there is no need to bring a specific bait type.

Recipes

Clam is a key ingredient in two cooking recipes. Both dishes provide solid health recovery and are worth learning early.

Fortune Clam Broth provides +146 recovery, making it one of the stronger healing dishes. It requires Winter Melon, Fine Salt, and Garlic in addition to the Clam. The recipe is unlocked through the Spring Festival Event.

Uses

• Cook into Seafood Wontons or Fortune Clam Broth

• Sell directly at shops or save for the Merchant Ship at Starsand Port for double value

• Contribute to Islandpedia stamp completion under Aquatic Life

Tips

• Since Clams accept any bait type, you can catch them as a bonus while targeting other ocean fish without swapping your bait.

• Stock up on Clams when you see them, as both recipes that use Clams also require other specific ingredients that take time to gather.

• Fortune Clam Broth is one of the best healing foods available through seasonal events. Collect Clams in advance of the Spring Festival to cook it right away.

• Clams are a good early-game income source because they are available in all seasons and require no special rod or bait setup.
