Bulk Frozen Blood Clam

 

    Bulk Frozen Blood Clam is supplied in high-capacity cartons or heavy-duty poly bags (10 kg, 20 kg, or custom sizes), designed for buyers who require metric tons of shellfish with minimal packaging expense. This no-frills format keeps per-kilo costs low by eliminating individual wrapping, interleaving, and excess labour – a straightforward, volume-first solution for high-throughput operations where price and steady supply matter most.

Scientifically known as Tegillarca granosa (also referred to as Anadara granosa), the blood clam is a bivalve mollusc widely cultivated across the coastal regions of China – particularly in Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong, and Shandong – as well as in Southeast Asia. It is named for the vivid red, haemoglobin-rich fluid found in its soft tissues – a rare trait among bivalves that gives the flesh its characteristic ruby colour and distinguishes it from ordinary clams. The shell is thick, oval, and deeply ribbed, protecting a plump, tender meat that carries a clean, briny flavour with a distinct savoury richness.

The bulk format is designed for efficiency. The clams are frozen as loose-fill or light clusters, then poured directly into bulk containers – simple, sturdy, and space-efficient. Compared to individually wrapped or portion-packed products, this approach reduces packaging material usage and allows a standard container to hold significantly more product, lowering freight costs per unit. For buyers who measure success in tonnes per shipment rather than individual clam appearance, this format offers the most direct path from coastal aquaculture to the production line.

FAQ

01.How does bulk packaging for frozen blood clam differ from retail packaging, and what are the standard bulk formats?

Bulk Frozen Blood Clam is designed for foodservice, industrial processing, and wholesale distribution, as opposed to retail consumer packs. The standard bulk packaging format is a 10 kg carton, which may contain either whole shell clams or meat-only products. For whole shell products, clams are typically packed in 10 kg bulk cartons. For meat-only products (shell removed), common bulk formats include 1 kg IQF bags (with 10 bags per carton) or 1 kg block packs. The product is usually frozen using IQF (Individually Quick Frozen) or BQF (Block Quick Frozen) technology. Bulk packaging offers advantages for large-scale users: (1) Lower packaging cost per unit – less material is used per kilogram of product; (2) Efficient storage – standardized carton sizes optimize cold storage space; (3) Reduced handling – fewer cartons need to be opened per ton of product processed.

02.What size gradings and specifications are available for Bulk Frozen Blood Clam?

Bulk Frozen Blood Clam is available in different size gradings depending on whether it is whole shell or meat-only. For whole shell products, size is typically expressed as pieces per 500g - the most common grade is 30–40 pieces per 500g. For meat-only products (shell removed), size grading is based on the number of clam meats per unit weight. Common meat size specifications include: 100–200, 200–300, 300–500, 500–700, and 700–900 pieces per kilogram. Meat-only products are also sorted by the number of pieces per 0.25 kg (250g) , with grades including 8–12 pieces, 13–15 pieces, 16–20 pieces, 21–25 pieces, 26–30 pieces, and 31–40 pieces per 250g. The product may also come with a protective glaze ranging from 0% to 60% of net weight. Bulk buyers should verify that the actual size mix matches the label declaration upon arrival.

03.What are the recommended storage conditions and shelf life for Bulk Frozen Blood Clam?

Bulk Frozen Blood Clam must be stored at a constant temperature of -18°C or below. Under these conditions, the product has a typical shelf life of 24 months when unopened. Some premium products processed with ultra-low temperature freezing (as low as -55°C) may preserve up to 95% of the seafood's freshness. For bulk buyers, several storage considerations are critical: (1) Temperature stability – fluctuations above -15°C can cause ice recrystallization, leading to texture degradation and increased drip loss; (2) Air circulation – cartons should be stacked with adequate spacing to allow cold air to circulate freely; (3) FIFO rotation – implement a First-In-First-Out inventory system to ensure older batches are used before newer ones; (4) Avoid refreezing – once thawed, the product should be used within 24–48 hours and must never be refrozen. Proper storage management is essential to maintain the quality and food safety of Bulk Frozen Blood Clam throughout its shelf life.
