- Scientific name: Solen vagina – Ensis minor
- Sales name: Cannolicchi
The bamboo clam is a bivalve mollusc characterized by a very elongated, tubuliform and yellowish-brown shell; the common size is 10-11 cm. This mollusc lives sunken in the sand in a vertical position in the coastal areas of the Mediterranean and the eastern Atlantic. The bamboo clams can be fished manually, using a metal rod ending with a cone (very similar to an arrow), or with “turbo blower” boats. In any case, it is a product exclusively of fishing. Bamboo clam meat is excellent (especially baked gratin).
