When I traveled in Hong Kong back in 1998 the seafood restaurants offered
the following species for dinner. You selected your entree from a large
number of tanks arranged in 3 high tiers and then they cooked them up for
you.
Entrees:
Scallops and pectens at least three different varieties.
Amusium japonica
Pecten pyxidata [tentative]
Chlamys senatoria [tentative]
Oyster
Crassostrea gigas - [tentative]
Volutidae
Melo melo - Indian Volute
Melo miltonis - tentative ID - I didn't get to buy one of these
Strombus
Strombus goliath - delicacy - very few available
Muricidae
Rapa venosa - Thomas's Rock Shell
Bursidae
Bursa elegans - Elegant Frog Shell
