Also called “Condelipas” in the Lagos area – name that has its origin in the great appreciator and military Count of Lippe. This bivalve with a smooth, shiny and flat shell lives buried in the sand between 0 and 6 meters deep. It is captured during low tide, in the sandy banks facing the sea, where it feeds. The clam is a symbol of the Algarve gastronomy and delights all that love to feel the sea at the table! Speaking of Algarve, have you tried “Xarém” (corn porridge) with Wedge Clams?
