Clam Information

The Clam is an item that can be caught using a Crab Pot in any saltwater body of water. It can also be foraged from The Beach or randomly found at the Traveling Cart for 150–1,000g. One Clam can sometimes be purchased for 500g from Pierre's booth at the Feast of the Winter Star. It may also be found foraging on levels 1-29 of the Mines while the Shrine of Challenge is enabled, or the Danger in The Deep quest is active.

Even though all other Crab Pot creatures are considered to be fish, Clams are not. Therefore, they cannot be used in recipes that call for any fish, cannot be placed in a Fish Pond, do not benefit from the Fisher or Angler professions, and do not count towards the four fishing achievements. They also appear in the collections tab under Items Shipped instead of the Fish section.

Clam (Crab Pot)

Clam is caught with a Crab Pot placed in ocean water. It has no season or time restriction — works as long as the pot is baited and the player has Fishing skills unlocked.

Sells for 50g.

Clam Cheat Help

Item spawning in Stardew Valley isn't accomplished through typical commands. Instead, it involves a cheat method where you name your character, or an animal, with the item code of the desired item, enclosed in square brackets [ and ]. Include the brackets when naming.

Spawn Using Animal Name

To spawn this item, buy an animal (we recommend a chicken because it is the cheapest) from Marnie's Ranch, name it [372]. You will then receive the Clam item.

Spawn Using Character Name

Since you can only set your character's name once at the game's inception, we advise using the animal naming method.

However, if you opt for this method, name your character [372] while creating your save file. When you converse with any villager who mentions your name in their dialogue, like Gus at the Stardrop Saloon, you'll receive the Clam item.
