The hard clam or quahog, Mercenaria mercenaria is a bivalve mollusc native to the eastern shores of North America, from Nova Scotia to the Yucatan Peninsula.
Sometimes, quahogs are steamed and dipped in butter, though not as commonly as their soft-shelled clam cousin, the "steamer".

 Daytripper's Guide: The Quahog
In Rhode Island, quahogs grow to legal size in three to four years if conditions are good.
This is less salty than the open ocean (salinity about 35 parts per thousand), so quahogs are often found in estuaries (such as Narragansett Bay) where the mixing of fresh and salt water provides ideal conditions.
Pollution in Narragansett Bay affects the quahog industry because the filter-feeding process concentrates not only food particles but also many pollutants-including disease-causing bacteria and viruses and toxic compounds.

Many of these "loan words" are nouns from the Algonquian languages that were once widespread along the Atlantic coast.

At this age, most hard clams measure between 2 - 4 inches, which places them in the littleneck (2.0 - 2.9 inch) and cherrystone (3.0 - 4.0 inch) categories.
Those hard clams which grow above 4.0 inches are termed chowders or quahogs (Busby, 1986).
The natural lifespan of Mercenaria is generally unknown; however, counts of growth rings indicate that the hard clam, in the absence of predation or commercial exploitation, may live as long as 40 years.
