In Japan they eat triacnids.

They eat just about everything in Japan! Do we all remember that one post last year of "Sushi" from UTube? That still gives me chills...

Cool article Reefjitsu. IT does not surprise me that we were exploiting marine habitats that long ago. It makes sense actually. Easy prey.
I hope they can aquaculture these clams into the trade. I would love to get a girlfriend for my T.Gigas
This comment " Tridacna maxima, which is prized in the aquarium trade." I am a bit bias to. For me my T.Gigas is my favorite. Here it is at just about 14"

put it with some veggies, and in some of that creamy stuff, and you have prehistoric clam chowder

That's disgusting! LOL!

I remember watching an episode of Survivor and a guy comes out of the water with a beautiful huge clam.

They ate it.

Give me a million bucks or so and I'll eat one too

I wonder if i could round up a million bucks and deliver them to you.. how many fights would break out between them, how much room would it take.. and what would you DO with all of them?.. if you're willing to eat a clam for a million of them.. you must REALLY like venison

lmao

Very cool, I would try one, heck why not unquestionably healthier than 95% of whats out there

from what I heard at macna, mating slams really isn't to hard, its just find the female which is the hard part...I am going to actively try it here pretty soon

FWIW, cultured giant clam is delicious.... You can get it in the states also. The pretty ones get reserved for the aquarium trade. Taste much better imo than oysters or clams you typically eat in the states.
