In the Philippines you still can buy the Tridacna live at the market, sit
down in the restaurant attached to the vendor, & pay the cooking or
preparation charge to have it served any way you wish. Squamosa is rather
crunchy because of the unbroken protein chain from being un-cooked, but
delicious!  CHRIS:)
