Where to buy a half bushel of clams?

My parents just moved to Lincoln MA from CT and they are surprised at how difficult it is to find somewhere to buy clams by the bushel. They are interested in the hardshell kind, I think they are called cherrystones. They want the small ones that you can open and eat raw on the half shell. They will drive to the shore to get them but I have no idea where to send them. Thanks for your help.

      Captain Marden's or Concord Prime are good local options.

      If you want to come into Boston Caoe Cod Shellfish will sell 100 pieces of clams or oysters. Call for hours..cash only.

        Twin Seafood in West Concord is pretty close to Lincoln, but I'd call first. Also, they could check with Concord Prime and Fish outside of Concord Center. Since they're willing to drive, they could venture into the city. I'd be very surprised if they didn't have luck at New Deal or Courthouse in Cambridge.
