NewGuy Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 Lately tendon shell has been going for about 120 a kilo around Bang Saen. Usually its around 300 per. I've been putting it in Indian curries and my girlfriend loves it in pad ka prow, pad ki maow etc. It's texture is excellent and I bet I could cover it with a tomato or cream sauce and think lobster. Anyway, what is it? I know it is a muscle (like a mussel's muscle, but on steroids) and I think the fishermen throw away the rest. A photo would be great!

p1p Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 It is known in England as a Razor Clam. Long narrow shell, much like an old-fashioned cut-throat razor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewGuy Posted July 30, 2005 Author Share Posted July 30, 2005 Wow, BambinA, good work! I just Googled "Pearl Shell" recipes and someguy on the US west coast says the meat goes for $120 a kilo. Seems crazy. Anyway he notes and I agree that you should only cook the tendon shell meat for two minutes a side max or else you'll get a rubber nugget.
