Originally from Japan, the savoury or “varnish” clam was unintentionally introduced to the Strait of Georgia, BC during the late 1980's or early 1990's.This attractive-looking clam is now widely distributed throughout the BC coast and is commercially available. The clam is easily identified by its thin, oval shell, which is shiny brown with a mild sweet, earthy flavor.
