Some mollusks are delicious as table fare, others so-so, and some apparently
not very palatable.  However, all that I know of are "edible", which is to
say, eating them wouldn't harm you, and could keep you alive if nothing else
was available.  My question is - are there any mollusks known to be
inedible, that is, toxic if eaten?  (Like berries - some delicious, some
so-so, some poisonous).  Of course, humans have probably tried eating all
known berries, and certainly have not tried eating all known molluscs, but
just thought I would ask if any toxic species are known.
