The hard clam (Mercenaria mercenaria), also known as the round clam, hard-shell (or hard-shelled) clam, or the quahog,[a] is an edible marine bivalve mollusk that is native to the eastern shores of North America and Central America from Prince Edward Island to the Yucatán Peninsula.
The most distinctive of these names is quahog (/ ˈ k oʊ h ɒ ɡ / KOH-hog, / ˈ k w ɔː h ɒ ɡ / KWAW-hog, or / k w ə ˈ h ɒ ɡ / kwə-HOG, also spelt quahaug, quohog or cohog). The word comes from the Narragansett word "poquauhock", which is similar in Wampanoag and some other Algonquian languages.
