Celebrating Island Traditions at Clammin’ & Jammin’ with Clam Salad Delight
The vibrant celebration of Clammin’ & Jammin’ in Abrams Village, PEI, has become a beloved tradition that captures the spirit of fall flavors in the heart of Prince Edward Island. As the crisp fall air rolls in, so do the festivities, showcasing the bountiful harvest from both land and sea. It’s been an honor for us to be a part of this event year after year, sharing culinary creations that speak to the beauty and flavors of our local ingredients.
This year, we’re proud to feature our Clammin’ & Jammin’ Clam Salad, a refreshing dish designed to capture the essence of bar clams, an iconic part of PEI’s seafood culture. Bar clams, often considered one of the Island’s hidden treasures, offer a rich and briny flavor that perfectly balances with the fresh and zesty ingredients in this salad. Their succulent texture makes them the ideal centerpiece for a dish that brings the community together during the fall festival season.
Clammin’ & Jammin’ is more than just an event—it’s a celebration of the Island’s traditions and our collective love for music, food, and the people who make it all possible. This clam salad embodies that spirit with a mix of bright, crisp vegetables, the tang of fresh citrus, and just the right amount of spice. With local bar clams, juicy cherry tomatoes, crisp snow peas, and a touch of jalapeno pepper, this dish has both vibrancy and warmth—much like the event itself.
As a nod to the Island’s love for flavor, we’ve added a hint of heat with our “Badass Burger Booster” and “Hot Under the Kilt” spice blends, giving the salad a gentle kick that plays off the fresh lime and lemon juice. The briny bar clams are lifted by the sweetness of the jalapeno pepper jelly, while the creamy, salty feta crumbles add a delightful contrast to each bite. It’s a dish meant to be enjoyed slowly, just like the fall afternoons spent enjoying live music and laughter at the festival.
Whether you’re a local or a visitor, our Clammin’ & Jammin’ Clam Salad is our way of sharing the love of PEI’s flavors with you. Served cold and perfect for a gathering, this salad is a taste of the sea, the soil, and the soul of our Island. It’s dishes like these that make us so proud to be a part of Clammin’ & Jammin’ year after year, celebrating the best of PEI’s fall flavors and our cherished community.
