Clams?

yea they are becoming harder to come by now,

Indonesia has never issued Cites to export clams as far as i know so the current situation there will have no effect on clams.

J&L will be re stocked soon with some Crocea

The primary reason is new restrictions on importation making them more expensive and risky to import.

Clams from some areas I believe are banned altogether.

Lots of discussion on this site regarding CITES, etc as to why.

King Ed's has some questionable looking ones.

Expensive but they might color up nicely.

No, they're still easy to get. Just no store wants to stock 50+ pcs of clams to sell the 3-4/month that's been trending for the last five years.

Easy to get where?

From the regular sources that stores order from; transhippers and wholesalers.

J&L seems to bring them in once or twice a year now. They seem to sell when they do even though they are getting pricy and smaller than they used to be but hey, what isn't in the livestock world these days...

I mean, I dunno what to tell ya. I've turned down four opportunities to bring them in since the start of the year.
