About Us
Relish Hao Hao Chi Foods is pioneering sustainable, technology-driven clam processing from the heart of Kerala's Vembanad backwaters in Alappuzha — one of the world's richest sources of freshwater clams.
We are building an integrated operation that spans the full lifecycle: from our own hatchery and community-managed grow-out, through advanced depuration and automated processing, to export-ready frozen and pasteurized products.
