March Clamness

The National Clam Athletic Association invites you back for another riveting bivalve competition: the Ultimate Steamed Clam Companion! Catch the action only on @hamahamaoysters Instagram Story - pool play begins 3/23!

What does March Clamness entail?

Delicious fresh clams to eat at home, a few clam puns, occasional made up clam dishes, and cutthroat clam competition. (See historic battles here). This year we're taking it back to fundamentals. The YOU CAN ONLY CHOOSE ONE contest begins 3/23. 

Also, to help make clams more accessible, we offer fun clams on our online store (hint, geoduck) and a clam subscription, so that you can have clams arrive magically on your doorstep once a month. 

How does the competition work?

We'll run polls in our Instagram story, beginning 3/23. 

This is a single elimination, winner take all contest.

Granted, we don't really know what the winner will be taking. And voting will require more knee-jerk reaction than rational thought.

That said, we're poking the bear with some of these Round 1 lineups, and exposing some long held deep seated rivalries. If you'd like to do your own research, here's what the pundits are saying!

More Research Needed? Buy Clams!

And then cook them!

(Not all of these dishes qualified for the tournament this year unfortunately, but they're working on their game and will potentially make an appearance in 2025!)
