Is H-Mart a national chain? We have something called Li Ming's Global Mart in Durham, which has had Ensis (delicious!) as well as many of the aforementioned.
In Greensboro, there's Super-G market, with several varieties of Asian clams and other mollusks.
Are either of these stores present in other parts of the US?
