| | Quahog - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Quahogs are salt-water mollusks that thrive in salt concentrations of 18-26 ppt, which is less salty than open ocean salinity of 35 ppt, and thus thrive in less-salty tidal estuaries and bays. | | | Sometimes, quahogs are steamed and dipped in butter, though not as commonly as their soft-shelled clam cousin, the "steamer". | | | Quahogs (pronounced "KO-hog", IPA /kohɑɡ/, "kwag", or "kwa-HOG", IPA /kwɑhɑɡ/), mercenaria mercenaria or venus mercenaria, are also called hard-shell clams, and by terms referring to different sizes from smallest to largest, "littlenecks", "cherrystones", "quahogs", and "chowders". |
