"Blackfish and Clams" is a still life painting by the Danish-American artist Emil Carlsen (1853–1932), known for his masterful technique and quiet, contemplative approach to still life and landscape painting. Created in 1904, this work exemplifies Carlsen's skill in rendering textures and surfaces with a high degree of realism, a hallmark of his mature style.

The painting depicts an arrangement of seafood, with the titular blackfish and clams carefully placed on a table, showcasing Carlsen's ability to capture the varied textures of marine life and the interplay of light and shadow. The composition is balanced and harmonious, with a restrained color palette that evokes a sense of calm and elegance. Carlsen's attention to detail and his subtle gradations of tone are evident in the delicate rendering of the fish's scales and the clams' shells, set against a muted background that allows the subjects to take center stage.

"Blackfish and Clams" is representative of Carlsen's work during a period when he achieved critical acclaim and commercial success. His still lifes often featured kitchen items, game, and greenery, painted with a quietude that was in contrast to the more exuberant styles of his contemporaries. Carlsen's paintings are celebrated for their meditative quality and technical proficiency, and "Blackfish and Clams" is a fine example of his contribution to American still life painting in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

The painting is part of the collection of the Smithsonian American Art Museum, which houses several works by Carlsen. "Blackfish and Clams" continues to be appreciated by art historians and enthusiasts for its aesthetic beauty and as an embodiment of Carlsen's artistic philosophy, which favored the beauty of the everyday and the mastery of traditional painting techniques.
