The quahog, also known as the hard shell clam, is Mercenaria mercenaria. The common name, quahog is derived from poquauhock, a Naraganset word. The Algonquin tribes that used the meat of the clam for food, made colored beads from the shells that was used for commerce. And, the species name, mercenaria is similar to the Latin word for commerce/buying, mercatura.
