Descrizione
The clam paradox: Italian law allows selling Ruditapes philippinarum (Manila clam, Indo-Pacific) as “grooved carpet shell”. The Cocciula is Ruditapes decussatus — the only native Mediterranean one. Separate siphons tell it apart from the Manila without error. The lake’s largest clam: generous flesh, sweet but assertive flavour.
