Fresh Shellfish
CLAMS:
 The
Clam is a shellfish. The shell is white or yellow and smooth.
It eats whatever it can find in the sea-water (small vegetable
organisms or animals). The maximum length it can reach is 5
cm, but on average the clams that are normally fished are around
2.5 to 3.5 cm. It is possible to find it in the Atlantic Ocean
and the Mediterranean Sea, especially near the Italian coast.
How to fish it:
 The
Clam is caught by using a special boat called " Vongolare
". It has a special machine to dig into the sand and
capture all the organisms in that part of sea.
MUSSELS:
 The
Mussel is a shellfish. The shell is lengthened and black.
Inside the colour is purple or white, depending on the sex
and the reproduction cycle. The mussel eats plankton and other
organic particles in the water.
The maximum length it can reach is 11 cm, but the average
is usually around 6 cm. The mussel attaches itself to rocks.
Its specific shape and structure prevents waves dragging it
away from its environment.
How to fish it:
The mussels are mainly cultivated. Only a small number are
caught naturally.
