You may not be familiar with the Arctic surf clam, but Canada, specifically Bedford, N.S., is home to the world's biggest fishery. The Clearwater processing plant harvests the mollusk miles offshore, where the ocean is deep and clean. The clam is then quickly processed and graded before being shipped around the world. Approximately 98 per cent heads to Asia for the sushi and sashimi markets.

Join chef Ricardo Larrivée as he meets Clearwater's head chef Stefan Czapalay and learns how this mollusk became big in Japan.
