Item:Manila clam (New Horizons)

"I got a manila clam! Manila is my favorite flavor of clam!"

— Player, Animal Crossing: New Horizons

The Manila Clam is a crafting material in Animal Crossing: New Horizons.

The Manila Clam can be obtained by digging it up from the beach with a shovel. It appears as a small dark spot that will spurt water then disappear in a cycle. The first time the player retrieves one, they will learn a recipe to make Fish Bait, which requires a Manila Clam to craft. The player is rewarded for finding the clams via the Clam and Collected Nook Miles goals. This item can be used as an ingredient in the clam chowder dish on Turkey Day.
