The watch clam, Dosinia exoleta, is a species that was banned for several years and today is a bivalve

The clock clam, Dosinia exoleta, is a species that was banned for several years and today is back on the market to enrich the wide range of bivalve shellfish

This species is distinguished by its good size, between 5 and 8 cm, and its circular shell. It is found on beaches and mouths, as it resists well the changes in temperature and salinity of the water, and at depths of up to 100 m.

Clock clams offer a lot of meat, as the animal completely fills the shell. They have a minimum fat content, B vitamins, calcium and magnesium, a remarkable protein content, and especially a high content of assimilable iron, ideal for diets of people with anemia or pregnant women
