*BANNED CARPET SHELL*


	*CHARACTERISTICS*

	The banned carpet shell sold in Galicia is Galician, although it also comes from Portugal. It is a clam of good quality and it is appreciated in recipes for clams in a seamanlike way and stews.

	*HOW DISTINGUISH IT FROM OTHER CLAM VARIETIES?*

	The banned carpet shell has a shell covered with concentric lines in a light shade, lighter than the shell, which is light yellow, cream-coloured or golden, from that it follows its Spanish name. The shell seems smoother, more uneven and brilliant, so that it seems polished.
